QCEC Director Education Yvonne Ries and I met with representatives from the Isolated Children’s Parents’ Association (ICPA) Queensland Inc. to discuss the funding model for specific needs support for rural and remote students. 

ICPA advocates for students in rural and remote settings and for boarding students. 
 
The Association is seeking to ensure that rural and remote students who require learning support and assistance in the early and middle years of schooling receive, at a minimum, the same level of support in their senior years.
