National Goals for Schooling

Improving educational outcomes for all young Australians is central to the nation’s social and economic prosperity and will position young People to live fulfilling, productive and responsible lives. Young Australians are therefore placed at the centre of the Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals.

The declaration identifies two goals for education in Australia:

          Goal 1:
          
          Australian schooling promotes equity and excellence

          Goal 2:

          All young Australians become:
                    * successful learners
                    * confident and creative individuals
                    * active and informed citizens
