  • State of Tasmania Years 9 – 12 Education Review
    STATE OF TASMANIA YEARS 9 – 12 EDUCATION REVIEW Submission by Eleanor Ramsay and Michael Rowan ATTACHMENT 1 1 Using MySchool to benchmark Tasmanian Year 12 attainment rates against similar schools in other states Prof Eleanor Ramsay and Prof Michael Rowan, June 2016 [Minor correction 2 July 2016 – see note (2), page 24.] Few tragedies can be more extensive than the stunting of life, few injustices deeper than the denial of an opportunity to strive or even to hope, by a limit imposed from without, but falsely identified as lying within. Stephen Jay Gould PREAMBLE Prof Alan Reid, in his defence of the importance of public education, Building our nation through public education, writes Apart from denying individuals the chance to develop to their fullest potential, there is now overwhelming evidence demonstrating the deleterious effects of educational inequality on social and economic outcomes and political participation. Productivity falls, participation in civic life is diminished, and social dislocation is greater. Since education is one of the most important determinants of levels of inequality, it is clear that there is need for urgent action to improve equity in Australian schooling. The kind of evidence for inequality in Australian schooling Prof Reid would have in mind compares the outcomes for students in wealthier schools in wealthier communities with the outcomes for students in poorer schools in poorer communities. This evidence is well known, and is the basis for attempts to reduce inequality in schooling, most recently by the Gonski funding reforms. In what follows we compare Tasmanian schools to like schools elsewhere in Australia.
