Our promise is simple but bold: to build a world class education system and transform Victoria into the Education State.
The Victorian Government has invested $10.8 billion across the education portfolios to make Victoria the Education State, improving outcomes for children, young people and adult learners across our state.
For schools, the Education State means building a system that provides every student with the knowledge, capabilities and attributes that will see them thrive throughout their lives, to have the skills that industry needs, and that employers expect.
The Education State will improve outcomes for all students, regardless of their start in life, promoting foundational learning domains such as reading, mathematics and science, alongside other important areas, such as critical thinking, the arts, physical education and resilience.
Building excellence and equity in equal measure means that all students will have access to the same quality education, regardless of their background or circumstance. The Education State in Schools initiatives include changes to school funding that allow schools to invest in targeted programs and focus on the things that we know will make a difference to student outcomes.
The Victorian Government is working hard, in the first years of the Education State, to put the foundations in place so that we see positive change for students.
This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a future where Victoria is recognised nationally and internationally for the skills, knowledge, and expertise of its people.
