Meeting the Challenge - now THAT'S smart

The QTU is committed to improving education in our most difficult schools.

Meeting the Challenge is a strategy to improve learning and working conditions for students and QTU members in our socio-economic complex schools.

The QTU recognises that some Queensland schools offer particularly difficult challenges due to socio-economic complexity.

With your support, the QTU will be able to make a difference.

Our campaign aims to:

introduce better recruitment and retention strategies for complex schools;
secure State Treasury-funded additional resourcing;
convince the Department to introduce a range of initiatives designed to support teachers working in the most complex schools;
focus on delivering improved behaviour management support; and
redress issues related to teaching and learning conditions.

Please take the time to download and read this pamphlet and the flyer about meeting the challenge in Logan schools.
