Publication of Teaching and Learning Audit Results.

Members would be aware that it is the intention of The Courier Mail to publish the results of the Teaching and Learning Audits conducted in schools tomorrow.

The QTU is opposed to the publication of this information as Teaching and Learning Audit reports provide a point in time analysis of a school based on the key indicators in the Audit tool and are not intended to be a comparator of schools.

Members participated in the Teaching and Learning Audits with a commitment from the Department that the information would not be misused or publicly released. The publication of the results in the paper tomorrow is a breach of this commitment.

The QTU is receiving further advice regarding the decision of the Government to release the information today and a Newsflash will be sent to schools on Monday.
