Australian governments want our children to have the best education possible. That’s why the Australian Government and state and territory governments have entered into three Smarter Schools National Partnerships aimed at addressing disadvantage, supporting teachers and school leaders and improving literacy and numeracy.

Over a quarter of all Australian schools (2,500) are participating in the National Partnerships for Low Socio-economic Status School Communities and Literacy and Numeracy, whilst all teachers and school leaders are targeted under the National Partnership for Improving Teacher Quality.

On this website you will be able to find out more about what the three partnerships are, how each state and territory are implementing them, and which schools are participating.

The Government has also invested in literacy and numeracy pilot initiatives. Over 400 schools are actively involved in finding out what works to improve literacy and numeracy outcomes for students most in need of support.

The Australian Government, in partnership with state and territory governments, is developing a data bank of literacy and numeracy evidence-based teaching strategies to improve outcomes for all Australian students. Submissions for the Teach, Learn, Share database open on 21 November 2011. Once it is completed, the Teach, Learn, Share database will provide a one stop shop for teachers.
