It is a pleasure for me, to present to you all, the Ministry of Education’s strategic plan for the
period 2007 to 2011. The five year Strategic Plan outlines how we are revitalizing and
re-energizing the education system to ensure that our students receive the best quality education required to succeed in the future.

The three broad strategic themes of “Professional, Accountable and Efficient Organization, Teaching and Learning Excellence, and Quality Education” exemplify the ministry’s pledge to the provision and development of high quality educational services both for now, and in the
future.

Through the establishment and implementation of sound educational strategies and planning we are able to confidently shift towards improving student achievement and create a high quality education system which is not only inclusive and accountable across all sectors, but also provides a series of pathways and choices for both students and parents.

Set against rapidly changing educational landscapes, the Strategic Plan has integrated the national context and local priorities into a framework that will expound opportunities for all stakeholders to achieve success and enhance the national image.

I am confident that these changes have laid the foundation for a stronger, more dynamic and more relevant education system, which is responsive to change and purposeful outcomes. The development of strategic themes and a service plan to monitor standards and performance link students to the delivery of quality education equipped with life long knowledge and skills. I wish to thank each and every person for their commitment and contribution to the development and realization of this plan.
