Prime Minister Julia Gillard and ACT Chief Minister Katy Gallagher have announced that the University of Canberra will house a new Centre for Quality Teaching and Learning, which will deliver professional skills and applied, practice-led research to support the introduction of the Government’s National Plan for School Improvement reforms.
School students and their teachers should benefit from the establishment of this new centre and further develop Canberra as a destination for education and research, creating jobs and ensuring that schools and university graduates have the latest skills they need to thrive in a competitive knowledge economy.
