social make-up of schools
Includes Figures and Tables. A report prepared for the Australian Education Union. Access online at URL below. “The social make-up and social role of schools affect students’ school lives and educational and social outcomes, and thus communities and the wider Australian society. There are significant differences in social make-up and social role between the public, Catholic and independent school sectors (and subsectors within each). It is thus important that these differences are investigated. That is done in this report primarily according to family income, and also according to Indigenous status, family type (one parent families), religion (Catholicism and Islam), languages spoken and English proficiency, disability, home internet access, home tenure (rented accommodation), and geographic mobility (different home address one year previously). The analysis is primarily based on data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics 2016 Census and earlier censuses.” – Summary. “The social make-up and social role of schools affect students’ school lives and educational and social outcomes, and thus communities and the wider Australian society.
