Entities within Queensland's education sector support individuals across all stages of learning – from early childhood and school through to vocational education, training, and university. Together, they provide the knowledge and skills to prepare individuals for the workforce.

These reports analyse the education entities’ financial performance and position and include assessments of their internal controls; financial performance and sustainability; and asset management.

Each year our report will build on any focus areas from our previous education reports and emerging issues in the education sector. In our 2025 report, we will focus on:

• how entities are addressing weaknesses in their information technology systems
• how Queensland public universities are responding to the risk of historical wage underpayments to staff
• the outcome of the Senate inquiry into the quality of governance at Australian universities
• strategies in place at universities and TAFE Queensland to manage their financial sustainability
• the progress and spend on the schools and training infrastructure expansion programs, and progress made on our previous recommendation on completing regular and timely asset condition assessments
• how universities are tracking with their capital programs and how effectively they are maintaining their assets. 

Other areas we may analyse further this year include:

• asset management maturity at universities.
