The Department of Education, Training and the Arts is committed to a clever, skilled and creative state where all Queenslanders have access to world-class education and training, and enjoy the richness and diversity of the state’s arts and culture. We deliver services to develop Queensland’s most precious resource – its people. The 2008-09 Budget commits $7.03 billion in recurrent funding and invests $833.8 million in capital funding to the education, training and arts sectors. A commitment to excellence, and initiatives to improve facilities, learning, leadership and cultural innovation will continue to bolster these three thriving sectors in one of the fastest growing, most decentralised states in Australia.
