SEMINARS

EDUCATION IN QUEENSLAND
The AFUW-Q Education Committee
continues to address many current and relevant issues regarding
education at all levels. Of particular concern to members of the

standard of education, schools and teachers in the media.
The Committee plans to hold a
seminar open to all AFUW-Q members, primary & secondary teachers,
school principals, tertiary teachers, government representatives,
politicians, members of parent bodies, members of other
organisations and members of the public.
Participants will be asked to
examine some of the issues, provide recommendations and/or solutions
and plan strategies to promote the status of education, schools and
practitioners,
A suggested title for the
seminar is ‘’Sustainable
Futures for Queensland Education’’
Date & Times:
5.00 to 9.00 pm, Thursday 11 September 2008
Venue:
The Women’s College, within The University of Queensland, St Lucia
Parking:
We hope to be able to offer free parking to participants
Cost:
$15 which includes seminar materials, refreshments on arrival and a
hot meal
The seminar is still in the
planning phase and the Committee welcomes further suggestions to
