New Paragraph
Secondary Reform
· The future of secondary education in the Northern Territory is changing, with young Territorians at the centre of the conversation.
· The NT Government is taking action to provide every student, no matter where they live, with access to an excellent and equitable education, and a pathway to a job.
· The Secondary Reform Program is paving the way for all students to complete their Northern Territory Certificate of Education and Training (NTCET), so they have the skills to succeed at work or in further study after school.
· The Northern Territory Government is making a significant investment in the future of education by transitioning to a new, comprehensive secondary education system across Darwin, Palmerston, and Alice Springs.
· Following extensive engagement with school employees, students and parents on the proposed models for secondary schools, the Northern Territory Government is proud to announce the new secondary school design for Darwin, Palmerston and Alice Springs.
· More than 1,100 people responded to an online survey, with strong support for the proposed changes and valuable feedback on implementation considerations including infrastructure, resourcing, wellbeing, diverse high-quality pathways, enrolment areas, and clear communication.
· This change will deliver high-quality learning pathways, ensure a seamless journey from Year 7 to 12, and better prepare students for life beyond school.
