Reading comprehension levels of children in the Bowen Basin have improved thanks to a University of Queensland-led project.
The UQ School of Education’s four-year project (Associate Professor Christa van Kraayenoord, Professor Robyn Gillies, Dr Eileen Honan and Associate Professor Karen Moni) in partnership with BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance and the Department of Education and Training (DET), has provided on-site professional learning to teachers at 10 Bowen Basin primary schools.
