About the Department
The Department of Education and the Arts was established in February 2004 to support the Minister's joint portfolio responsibilities for education and the arts. These portfolio areas represent the Government's commitment to encourage and engage all Queenslanders in educational, artistic and cultural pursuits.
Education history
Queensland's first school opened in 1826 with 16 pupils, the children of soldiers and convicts from the first settlement in Moreton Bay. It was not until 1860, however, that the first Education Act was proclaimed and all primary education was placed under one general and comprehensive system controlled by the Board of General Education.
