A message from the Director-General
Globalisation, the changing labour market and the impacts of increasingly sophisticated digital technologies require a balance between general education and the acquisition of life skills. Our state schools face the considerable challenge of maintaining standards of excellence for young Queenslanders, while simultaneously developing their capabilities as creative thinkers, driving innovation and greater productivity.
We now have an unprecedented opportunity to build on the collective strengths of the agency and move to even more integrated service approaches that maximise the quality of education provided to our state school students. Destination 2010 provides the strategic framework for state schools to deliver on our key priorities and advance our vision of a Clever, Skilled and Creative Queensland.
Our stronger focus on integrated service delivery will be reflected through the work of state schools across the following areas:
- learning across the phases
- Indigenous education
- literacy and numeracy
- renewal and alignment of curriculum
- students with disabilities
- disadvantaged students
- citizenship
- information and communication technologies
- arts and culture
- connections with industry and communities
- leadership.
Destination 2010 plays a key role in guiding our schools through the range of challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Our efforts now will prepare our children and young people for their future life success and will ultimately strengthen Queensland's position as the Smart State.
