About AGQTP

Program Objectives

The objectives for AGQTP are:

to equip teachers with the skills and knowledge needed for teaching in the 21st century;
to provide national leadership in high priority areas of teacher professional learning need; and
to improve the professional standing of teachers and school leaders.

The AGQTP also has three elements through which to achieve these objectives:

State and territory teacher professional learning projects, which provide funding for professional learning activitites for teachers in government and non-government schools under agreements with state and territory education authorities.
National projects which support the objectives and the broader national prolicy frameworks for the programme and/or address current or emerging high priority teaching and professional learning issues.

Are the projects being funded under the AGQTP aligned to the aims of the programme?
