ABOUT THE ANNUAL REPORT ABOUT US
In addition to our Legislative requirements, the
Department of Education’s annual report summarises
our activities in 2017–18 and our achievement of
planned strategies, key actions and performance
measures against our Strategic Plan for 2016–18,
‘Growing Success Together’ and our ‘Education NT
Strategy 2018–22’. OUR VISION
The annual report also highlights the department’s
new Strategic Framework 2018–2022. The Strategic
Framework 2018–2022 sets the future direction of
the department, with the Education NT Strategy as
its centrepiece. The framework also recognises our
partnerships with government and non-government
organisations at the national and international levels,
including our support and regulation of the early
childhood education and care and non-government
school sectors to ensure that every child has access to
quality education services. The Education NT Strategy
commenced in 2018 for our government schools and
places schools at the centre of what we do. This ensures
we are best positioned to achieve improved outcomes
for children and students
