QUT is excited to announce that the Faculty of Creative Industries, Education and Social Justice will launch a new School of Education, effective 1 February 2025. This will see all staff, students and programs in the current School of Early Childhood and Inclusive Education and the School of Teacher Education and Leadership move to the new school.

QUT has a long history and great strength in education and are excited by the opportunities the new school creates to provide a sharper focus on education as a discipline, foster collaboration and innovation, and enhance connections with our partners. It will also provide an opportunity to consolidate and strengthen postgraduate and professional development offerings.

QUT are currently recruiting for the position of Dean and Head of School who will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our School of Education.

Recognising QUT’s leadership in teacher education, we have been awarded Federal Government funding of $4.7 million to launch the Employing Queensland: Innovative Pathways to Teaching (EQuIPT) programme, which aims to strategically address critical teaching shortages in regional, rural, and remote Queensland schools. More information on this program is available here.
