Upholding the standards of the ACT teaching profession

The ACT Teacher Quality Institute (TQI) is an independent statutory authority established by the ACT Teacher Quality Institute Act 2010 (TQI Act) to build the professional standing of all ACT teachers, to enhance the community’s confidence in the teaching profession through professional regulation and practical initiatives to raise teacher quality. The Board reports directly to the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Development and emphasises collaboration across education settings and amongst teachers, early childhood services, schools and universities. TQI promotes continuous professional learning and development and the professionalism of all teachers in the ACT.
