New Institute to ensure ACT continues to have the best teachers
Source: ACT. Minister for Education and Training
"All teachers in ACT public and non-government schools will be registered with the establishment of the ACT Government’s Teacher Quality Institute, expected to open in early 2011. The Institute will have responsibility for teacher registration, ensuring teacher’s qualifications meet new minimum national standards and accrediting teacher training courses delivered in the ACT. The ACT Government has taken the first step in establishing the institute, advertising for a Senior Project Manager to work with stakeholders such as the Department of Education and Training, the non-government school peak groups, the University of Canberra and parents groups to scope out possible operating models for the institute."
