Internet Sites: State And Territory Education Services

Each Australian State and Territory maintains a web site/s, which outlines the Government Education Services provided in that State. In several States responsibility for Education is divided into two sections, compulsory and post-compulsory schooling. While a variety of approaches has been developed to disseminate information via the Internet, all of these sites are comprehensive and offer a wide range of information about services, current initiatives and curriculum development in Australian education. Local information for each school system can be found on these sites, plus school directories, policy documents, strategic plans, teacher resources, curriculum resources, links to mailing lists and Internet links for teachers and students to special programs, collaborative projects, examples of best practice and data on current research.
