Strategic Plan

The 2018-2021 Department of Education Strategic Plan Learners First: Every Learner, Every Day was published in October 2017.
The 2018-2021 Strategic Plan is based on wide-ranging co-construction and consultation across the DoE, with representatives from schools, colleges, LINC services, CFCs and business units.
The 2018-2021 Strategic Plan provides DoE with a shared commitment to Tasmania’s learners; shared values; shared goals to improve learning outcomes; and a shared way of working to drive continuous improvement.
Further materials supporting the implementation of the 2018-2021 Strategic Plan will be available in early-2018.

Plans, Reports and Statistics

We are committed to transparency and accountability and continually improving information for parents, schools and the community. It is important that parents, teachers, schools and government have the information they need to better support students and schools. Much of this information is available in our annual reports.
The information provided here adds to the material we publish regularly. It includes facts and figures on student numbers, supporting student need, external reviews and information on our infrastructure and budgets. We are continually adding to this information to confirm our commitment to an open and transparent government system.
