Excellence in Australian schools
Australian schools benchmark all subjects, teaching practices and resources,
including technology, against international best practice. This practice ensures
students are prepared for future study, not only in Australia, but anywhere in
the world.
Australian schools are already world leaders in the application of
information and communications technology to education. Our classrooms are
world-class in terms of improving quality, awareness and access to IT resources
and training for students and their teachers.
A wide range of initiatives and programs in Australian schools are improving
the learning environment and enabling students to achieve their full potential.
For example, the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) shows
Australian schools outperforming those of other English speaking countries in
the key areas of science and mathematics.
