Download or read book Opportunity and Educational Outcomes in Australia written by Anh T. Le and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the well-documented advantages of additional years of education, many Australians still leave school before completing Year 12, and less than one-half of high-school graduates complete tertiary studies. The reasons for this have been the subject of considerable research, with one of the primary aims being to investigate the role of inequality of opportunity as a determinant of educational attainment. Where inequality of opportunity adversely affects educational outcomes, appropriate policy intervention may be able to increase both efficiency and equity ( Behrman & Taubman, 1989 ). In this article, we use information on twins to assess the role of family background (or environment) in determining educational attainment in Australia, and to assess the changes in this role over recent decades. Our best estimate is that environmental diversity accounts for as little as 8 per cent of the variance in educational outcomes. Moreover, in the face of rather substantial changes in the arrangements for financing tertiary education in Australia, the influence of common family background on educational outcomes has not changed.
Download or read book Inequality in Australia written by Alastair Greig and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-02-17 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text seeks to analyse and explain inequality, challenging traditional conceptions and providing a new critical perspective. The authors provide a comprehensive historical account of inequality, and show how that account no longer adequately explains the new and different forms of inequality experienced in recent decades. As society has changed, they argue, new forms of inequality have emerged, conditioning the subject's very experience of identity, embodiment and politics. The book is at once a critical overview of contemporary inequality and a thorough-going textbook suitable for undergraduates.

Download or read book The New Inheritors written by Madeleine Mattarozzi Laming and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-20 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book examines why the majority of Australian school leavers want to go to university and have resisted government attempts to promote alternative forms of tertiary education. The New Inheritors explores differences in young people’s understanding of the purpose of university and their reasons for wanting to enrol. The book reveals that although there has been a general shift in values towards the utilitarian perspective, there is still significant support for the traditional liberal idea of university education as a cultural experience. This support is concentrated in well-educated families, regardless of their financial resources, but there is a substantial number of young people from less well-educated families who have absorbed the liberal perspective. The book begins with an extensive and unique overview of changes in Australian federal government tertiary education policy and changes in the public discourse on education. This overview provides a framework against which differences among today’s students are examined in detail. Drawing on a study of over 200 secondary school students from diverse backgrounds The New Inheritors records their attitudes to university – including access, fees and the role of government – and explores how these are formed by their family backgrounds and influenced by public policy on education. The New Inheritors uncovers the complexity of young people’s attitudes, and what processes occur in the forming and reforming of those attitudes to university and what young people really want from university education. Dr Madeleine Mattarozzi Laming is a Lecturer in Education at Australian Catholic University. She has given numerous conference papers on transition from school to university and teaching students from diverse backgrounds. In 2011 she received an Australian Learning and Teaching Council Citation for an outstanding contribution to student learning, particularly at the first year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of the influence of class and religion on politics often point to their gradual decline as a result of social change. Backed up by extensive evidence from 11 case studies and a 15-country pooled analysis, the editors argue instead that the supply of choices by parties influences the extent of class divisions: political choice matters.
Download or read book Ethnicity Class and Gender in Australia written by Gillian Bottomley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-29 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnicity, Class and Gender in Australia is a major study of the impact of immigration on Australian society, and of the fragmentation that has developed along ethnic, class and gender lines. Rather than thumbnail sketches of ethnic groups or celebrations of multiculturalism, it offers detailed critiques of policy and practice, backed up by evidence from the experiences and research of the authors. This book confronts issues crucial to all Australians: the increasing fragmentation of the workforce; the class, gender and origin-based inequalities present in an 'egalitarian' country; and the ideologies, from racism to multiculturalism, designed to mask these inequalities. The authors also point to evidence of growing resistance to the status quo, and strategies for working towards a more genuine equality - to more positive education programmes, to political action at the workplace and beyond. The aim is to broaden readers' understanding of Australian society by including those who are so often omitted from analysis of that society.

Download or read book Educational Opportunity in Australia 2015 written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report investigates how well the education and training system in Australia meets the needs of children and young people - for all Australians and regardless of where they live or what school they attend. It focuses on milestones at the end of each of the main stages of learning and development: Early childhood years measured at the point of school entry; Middle years measured at entry to secondary school; Senior school years measured at the end of secondary school; and Early adulthood measured at age 24. Topics include engagement in early education and care, school readiness, student engagement and wellbeing, the widening gap from the early to middle years, international comparisons of achievement, those who improve and those who remain behind, the compounding effects of multiple risk factors, factors influencing achievement, retention and attendance, confidence and views on school, aspirational families, and participation in higher education, vocational education and training, apprenticeships, and the labour market. The report highlights that though many young people succeed at each key milestone at the end of the main stages of learning and development, a minority miss out - not yet sufficiently well-prepared to take on the challenges of the following stages of their lives.
