The introduction of the new Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) system in 2019 involved changes to the QCAA’s curriculum, assessment and certification policies and procedures. A range of reports and data about the QCE is available on this website.
The Year 12 certification summary outlines the achievements of students who finish Year 12 in Queensland each year. It has been compiled from information provided to the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) by:
- Queensland schools
- the Department of Education
- the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training
- the International Baccalaureate Organisation
- other learning providers.
Dataset summaries
The data provided is based on information reported to the QCAA by Queensland schools. It includes subject enrolment data for General and Applied subjects, as well as Short Courses.
Note:
- 'Subject enrolment' refers to students who are enrolled by a school in a unit or Short Course.
- Most students complete Units 1 and 2 in Year 11 and Units 3 and 4 in Year 12. However, schools may teach and assess students in the order that best suits their local context, for example, early entry and completion, accelerated, compressed (compressing four units into one year) or extended completion.
- 'Subject offering completion year' refers to the year students completed/are expected to complete the Unit 3 and 4 pair.
- The data ahead of the current year is preliminary only. It will change as students progress through their senior years of schooling.
The subject enrolment data is updated three times a year.
