This includes responsibility for policy, evidence and research about effective practice, design, delivering and monitoring of programs in line with that evidence base, and collaboration and partnership with other agencies, governments and organisations.

We hold responsibility for securing national and state funding for education and skills, distribute funding to non-government schools, deliver education pathways support and improvement, lead data and Evidence for the Department, and manage government funded vocational education for NSW.
