The NSW Department of Education is relaunching the Beyond the Line Program this year. The program will support undergraduate initial teacher education students to travel with the department to experience teaching at selected regional, rural and remote NSW public schools.

Fifty positions will be offered for second and third-year undergraduates in 2023 and 200 positions annually from 2024.

Students participating in the week-long trip will be able to engage with the local community as well as gain valuable insights from teachers in regional, rural and remote NSW schools.

The application process will prioritise applicants studying in subject areas of high demand, including technological and applied studies, mathematics and science.

Applications will open in June 2023, ahead of the program launch in September 2023.
