NESA

The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) works with the NSW community to drive improvements in student achievement. NESA sets syllabuses, assessments, teaching and school standards for all schools in NSW. 

NESA has been set up by the NSW Government to:

• set syllabuses for NSW schools

• accredit schools to offer courses leading to formal awards

• award the Record of Student Achievement (RoSA) and the Higher School Certificate

• determine the rules and conditions for these awards.
