Education and training

Our education and training system enhances quality of life by giving children a great start and shaping the skills of the future to drive ongoing prosperity. The government is committed to ensuring all Queenslanders have access to modern, high-quality early-childhood education and care, and education and training facilities, no matter where they live.

Since releasing the strategy, we’ve progressed many of the 17 education and training infrastructure priority actions. Highlights include:

• delivering the Building Future Schools Program to build, maintain, improve and renew schools across Queensland
• delivering a new building at Bohle TAFE targeting 5-star Greenstar "Green Buildings" rating, and a minimum 4-star Greenstar ratings for new buildings from the Equipping TAFE for our Future program
• release of the Good Jobs, Great Training: Queensland Skills Strategy 2024-2028, helping providing pathways and priority skills in tradition and emerging industries
• investing $187 million to boost the Internet bandwidth in all Queensland state schools
• roll out of 13 more school upgrades under the State Delivered Kindergarten programs, providing more access to kindergarten programs.
