Report on the state of Australian schools. Some highlights: - equity in schools is declining (family and personal background are becoming far too important in determining how well you do) - students/families who can afford to are moving in masses to more selective schools - disadvantaged students are becoming increasingly concentrated in disadvantaged schools - local schools no longer reflect the local community, with many students being sent out of the community for schooling - government funding to private schools will now outstrip funding to public schools. http://cpd.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/The-State-of-Australias-Schools.pdf
