Below is the Federal Governments national students first policy .... what do you think? The Australian Government’s approach recognises that states, territories and the non-government school sector are best placed to determine how policies should be implemented in their schools. The Government’s Students First policy is focused on the following four areas: • teacher quality: the first step to achieving a quality education is to support the quality, professionalism and status of the teaching profession • school autonomy: both internationally and in Australia, evidence emphasises the advantages of school autonomy as part of a comprehensive strategy for school improvement. Great schools have leaders and teachers who have the independence to make the decisions and develop the programs that best meet the needs of their students • engaging parents in education: parents are one of the most important influences on a child’s education. When parents are engaged in their children’s education, they are more likely to attend school and to achieve better outcomes • strengthening the curriculum: a robust, relevant and up-to-date Australian Curriculum is essential to improve the quality of education for all school students. In particular, high quality school science and mathematics education are critically important for Australia’s current and future productivity. The Government’s Students First policy is based on the best evidence available. The Government is working closely with education authorities to deliver policy settings that will help improve outcomes rather than just focussing on funding.
