QUEENSLAND’S teaching and learning audits have been suspended by the Education Department after teachers decided to boycott them yesterday because the results were published in The Courier-Mail.

Principals joined teachers yesterday in saying they felt betrayed and angry at the publication of results, after the department gave assurances the information was confidential.

The Courier-Mail published a statewide school-by-school list of teaching and learning audit results last Saturday.

Under the audits, state schools were benchmarked against world’s best practice in eight teaching and learning areas, including effective teaching practices, an expert teaching team and curriculum delivery.
