Studies aimed at assessing the progress of the country's national goals for addressing the education gap have found that this system has failed.


This study aims to assess progress towards the country's current national goals, which failures include one in three children and adolescents.

The report from the study shows that Australia's education system has disappointed the students who needed the most support. Too often, the education system takes root rather than reduces the disadvantages of education. .
The report also reveals large gaps in educational opportunities, from early childhood to adulthood with Indigenous children, children from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and children in very remote areas, at least twice as likely to experience developmental vulnerability. compared to their peers.
Too often this gap arises as students get older, not receiving the support they need to catch up with their peers.
