Strategies and initiatives

The Department of Education has three major strategic directions which provide the framework for a fresh and exciting approach to lifelong learning in Tasmania.

The Student at the Centre strategy is an 18 month plan to better link the full expertise and resources of the department with our schools and students. A copy of the Student at the Centre [Word 854KB] may also be downloaded. 

The Community Knowledge Network [Word 1.3MB] strategy provides the framework to develop new ways to enhance lifelong learning opportunities for all Tasmanians and help build a State that values knowledge and ideas. The strategy builds on the information network including libraries, archives, adult education and online access centres.

Tasmania Tomorrow is the Tasmanian Government's vision for post-school education and training.  It will build a broad tertiary sector in Tasmania that will have equally valued university and vocational pathways for traditional and new careers.  It will deliver learning and qualifications sought after by students and employers which will be accessible, engaging and suited to individual learning styles.
