Smarter Schools National Partnerships

The Australian Government is committed to an education system that pursues excellence for all Australian schools and where every child receives the highest quality education. This commitment has been backed through both a national agenda for school reform and unprecedented investment. Major reform priorities set by the government include raising the quality of teaching in our schools, ensuring all students are benefitting from schooling, especially in disadvantaged communities, improving literacy and numeracy outcomes, and improving the transparency and accountability of schools and school systems at all levels.

In partnership with the states and territories, the Australian Government has entered into National Partnerships in the key areas of addressing disadvantage, supporting teachers, and improving literacy and numeracy.

The Association of Independent Schools of the Northern Territory is working closely with Catholic Education and the Northern Territory Department of Education to ensure that investment is directed to where it is most needed.
