About

Department for Education awarded a contract to THE BUSY GROUP LTD for the role of Program Administrator to manage and administer scholarship and grant funding for the Office for Early Childhood Development (OECD).

The contract supported the implementation of targeted scholarship and grant programs, to be implemented from July 2024, intended to attract and build the additional early childhood teachers, educators and leaders required for the staggered roll-out of universal three-year-old preschool starting in 2026.

The scope included managing grant funding to recipients and administering program delivery on behalf of the OECD as part of South Australia’s commitment to reduce the proportion of children entering school developmentally vulnerable from 23.8% to 15% over 20 years.

The contracting agency was the Department for Education.

Insight

The contract centralized scholarship and grant administration with a dedicated Program Administrator to operationalise the OECD’s workforce-development commitments, a common approach for scaling targeted education subsidies and ensuring consistent recipient funding processes.
