The Priority Country Area Program (PCAP) is a community-based rural education program, jointly administered by Education Queensland and the Catholic Education Commission. Funds are targeted to students in government and non-government schools to improve learning outcomes by providing educational, social, and cultural opportunities which are normally difficulty to access in rural and remote areas.

Central PCAP is one of four PCAP areas in Queensland. Information about PCAP in other areas of Queensland can be found on the state website: www.pcap.org.au
