Education and Training Reforms for the Future
In March 2002, the Queensland Government released ‘Queensland
the Smart State — Education
and Training Reforms for the Future’, a landmark
package of proposed education and training reforms in which
the government proposed that all young people should be ‘learning
or earning’.
The following link gives a background and overview of the
reforms

of education before Year 1 from 2007; and raising the compulsory

Middle Years of Schooling (Years 4 –
9)
Students who are engaged and achieving in their learning
during the middle phase and who are supported as they move
to the senior phase are more likely to keep succeeding and
stay engaged in learning and further education or training.

Senior Phase of Learning
Queensland Government wants to engage young people in earning
or learning so that all students have the opportunity to finish
Year 10 and then go on to gain at least a Senior Certificate
or Certificate III vocational qualification.

training and employment objectives and priorities for young
