The Queensland Government has a continuing commitment to ensure that all students, no matter where they live, have access to a range of high quality education and training programs.
Over half of all state schools in Queensland are located in rural and remote locations, with approximately one-quarter of state school students enrolled in these schools. The Department recognises the dedication to quality teaching and learning occurring in state schools in rural and remote locations.
The Rural and Remote Education Framework for Action 2006-2008 identifies more than 60 actions to support continued excellence and improved educational and training opportunities for students, educators and schools in rural and remote Queensland over the next three years.
These actions align with the strategies in the Blueprint for the Bush, a ten-year plan to build a strong rural Queensland of sustainable, liveable and prosperous communities.
