Australian Social Trends 2008: Education across Australia
URL: http://www.abs.gov.au/...ATS/abs@.nsf/Lookup/4102.0Chapter6002008
Category: Education reports
Since 1996 there has been an increase in the proportion of the Australian population with a non-school qualification. However, improvements in educational attainment have not been evenly distributed. People in regional and remote areas are more likely than their urban counterparts to encounter difficulties in accessing educational opportunities. In 2006, the proportion of 25-64 year olds with a non-school qualification declined with increasing remoteness. This article examines educational attainment levels and participation in education: how this has changed in the ten years to 2006, and how this varies by geographic location and by Indigenous status.
