BOSTES commenced operation on 1 January, 2014, bringing together the functions previously provided by the Board of Studies and the NSW Institute of Teachers. The Quality Teaching Council will continue to function under the auspices of BOSTES.

BOSTES will bring a new focus in NSW on how research, data and experience on standards setting can be used to make improvements across the whole education system.

BOSTES will be developing a new website over time. In the interim, teachers and other users should continue to use the information and services available on existing websites.
