About Us:
Young people are smart, creative, energetic change-makers, full of ideas and possibilities, constantly adapting to the global world. The Department of Education's challenge is to understand the complexities facing our youth and continuing to provide the right conditions for them to succeed.

Our priority is to ensure our schools are equipped to provide the positive and agile learning environments young people need to stay engaged.
