Towards world-class
We plan to make South Australia’s public education world-class by 2028.
Here are some of the ways we’re making that happen.
School improvement
Every school and preschool has developed a 3-year plan for improvement.
The plans show where each school will focus its efforts to achieve growth for every student.
Strategies
Aboriginal education strategy
We want every Aboriginal child and young person to achieve their highest potential.
Music education strategy
Give all students access to high-quality music education.
Entrepreneurial education strategy
Encourage students to learn, practice and use their enterprise skills in every area of the education curriculum.
International education strategy
Support our students to develop knowledge and abilities to be successful in a diverse and globally connected world.
Orbis – exemplary learning for educators
Orbis delivers the very best professional learning to our teachers and leaders.
We’ve partnered with the world’s best in teaching and education leadership – Harvard and University of Melbourne – to deliver our programs.
Capital projects
A major $1.3 billion investment in better school facilities will upgrade more than 100 schools and preschools.
We’re also building 3 new schools in Angle Vale, Aldinga and Whyalla to accommodate the increasing student numbers in public schools.
High speed internet for schools and preschools
We’re connecting public schools and preschools to high-speed fibre optic cable by 2021.
Every public school, teacher, and student will have access to high-speed, reliable internet, at the speed they need, when they need it – regardless of location. This is one of the biggest information technology projects we’ve ever taken on.
Vocational Education and Training (VET)
We’re working with industry to strengthen the connection between VET delivered to school students and employer needs.
We’re aligning vocational pathways to future jobs, piloting flexible apprenticeships, and providing better career education to help prepare students for the workforce and further education.
