​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Queensland Government is committed to ensuring that all students, no matter where they live, have access to a range of high quality education and training programs.

The Advancing rural and remote education in Queensland state schools action plan sets the direction for supporting students, families, teachers and school leaders in rural and remote areas. It focuses on every rural and remote student succeeding, valuing our people and building positive partnerships. These focus areas were informed and affirmed by key stakeholders during an extensive consultation process.​

The Working together: supporting students, staff and leaders in Queensland's rural and remote schools (PDF, 3.2MB) spotlight paper celebrates the strengt​hs and diversity of school communities across Queensland, highlighting key achievements in rural and remote schools, and exploring the next steps for enhancing student outcomes in these communities.

​Should you have any questions, comments or concerns regarding rural and remote education,​ you are invited to provide your feedback by emailing ruralandremote@qed.qld.gov.au​.​
