National Partnerships Smarter Schools

Australian Government Program

The Smarter Schools National Partnerships are part of a new funding approach that engages all school systems, including the non-government sector, in partnerships to improve educational outcomes for all students and targets support to students who need it most.

The Australian Government entered into these National Partnerships with the states and territories in the key areas of addressing disadvantage, improving teacher quality, and raising literacy and numeracy outcomes.

More information about the National Partnership funding approach under the Intergovernmental Agreement is available from the COAG.Gov.Au website
