In this submission, Independent Schools Australia recommended that the Committee supports strong nationally consistent research on student attainment, address limitations in existing data, adopt student-centred policy responses, and ensure that policy and public discourse are carefully framed and evidence based.
Independent Schools Australia (ISA) prepared this submission in response to the Australian Government Standing Committee on Education’s inquiry into the factors driving educational attainment (the inquiry). ISA consulted with the Associations of Independent Schools when preparing this response to the inquiry.
