Danielle H. Heinrichs; Naomi Fillmore; Rafaan Daliri-Ngametua – Journal of Multilingual Theories and Practices, 2024
Compared with nations around the world, Australia has one of the highest rates of refugee resettlement per capita. Approximately 40 per cent of newly arrived refugees in Australia in 2018-19 were under the age of 18 and close to 90 per cent spoke a language other than English. Given that education is compulsory until the age of 16 in most states…

Ruscoe, Amelia; Barblett, Lennie; Barratt-Pugh, Caroline – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2023
The influence of curriculum and policy documents on the decision-making of educators is of particular interest in the field of early childhood.

Luis Alejandro Lopez-Agudo; Oscar David Marcenaro-Gutierrez – School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 2024
Parents have the option of enrolling their children in the first stage of early childhood education (from 0 to 3 years of age). However, not all parents decide to do so, waiting until the second stage of early childhood education to enrol them in the education system (from 3 to 5 years of age), or even until compulsory education when their…

A governmental research inquiry was conducted into the policy to raise the school leaving age in Western Australia.

Drawing on…

Sheng, Xiaoming – Education and Urban Society, 2018
Home education is at an early stage for the public, researchers, media and educational authorities in China. Yet the research relating to the development of home education has been entirely ignored. In particular, the literature focusing on the legal status of home education is negligible in the educational context of China. There is no literature…

In this article we offer a comparative analysis of vocational education and training (VET) in two rural regional locations by situating the pragmatic problem of advising rural students against the backdrop of differently structured market-oriented vocational education systems in Canada and Australia, respectively. Each of these jurisdictions…

Boyle, Tess; Petriwskyj, Anne; Grieshaber, Susan – Australian Educational Researcher, 2018
This paper makes a case for conceptualising transitions from the before school sector to the compulsory years of schooling as continuity practices. It begins by presenting an overview and critique of constructions of transitions to school that contribute to contemporary discourses and agendas (e.g. the conflation of transitions and readiness).…

McCuaig, Louise; Rossi, Tony; Enright, Eimear; Shelley, Karen – British Educational Research Journal, 2019
Young people's health and welfare is an enduring, and sometimes contested, underpinning rationale for compulsory schooling. However, a contemporary culture of austerity and accountability has challenged the capacity of schools to address health-related agendas. This article reports on how four Australian teachers negotiate the network of…

This article stems from a doctoral study about alternative education around the world and the author's personal journey to identify characteristics of the "ideal school."

Fozdar, Farida; Martin, Catherine Ann – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2020
Recent critiques of citizenship education have identified the need for curricula that cover not only civil, political, social and cultural aspects of political belonging and responsibility, but that orient students to the realities of global engagement and responsibility. Rather than focussing on national values, histories and political…

Hodgson, David – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2018
Disciplining and pastoral power are central to the strategies and practices of intervening in the lives of young people deemed at risk of disengaging from school, or not completing their compulsory education.
