Summary Note This report conclusively shows that in Australia there is a strong correlation between individual student performance and the average SES of the students of the school which a student attends. The report identifies measures which can improve the Australian schooling system: "Improving the quality of teachers and the practice of teaching – this means attracting and retaining a strong professional teaching workforce, guiding them well in the best instructional methods and supporting them to carry out their responsibilities. ; Ensuring the right external standards and governance – setting goals and using the right data is important. Also, supporting autonomy over deployment of resources for high-performing schools, but limited autonomy over student selection. ; Promoting regional-level collaboration and networked-schools – it is important to engage the community and support inter-school linkages to mitigate the effects of competition between schools and ‘lift all boats’ in the region. ; Supporting disadvantaged students – targeted assistance and support (financial, practical and emotional) for those with particular needs, to complement quality teaching of those who can most benefit. ; Investing in underperforming schools where there is a concentration of disadvantage – addressing the downward spiral of schools by ensuring a safe and well-functioning learning environment, with a positive ethos. This includes actively encouraging high-performing schools to take in cohorts of under-performing students. ; Strong leadership to drive school improvement – school leaders are key to ensuring high standards of instruction and a culture oriented towards capability-development among teachers and students. They also play an important role in engaging the community to support school improvement." - p. 9-10.
