CASE STUDY: QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA by Judith Sebba, University of Sussex Graham Maxwell, Queensland Studies Authority NOT for CI
WHAT WORKS IN INNOVATION IN EDUCATION CASE STUDY: QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA By Judith Sebba, University of Sussex Graham Maxwell, Queensland Studies Authority NOT FOR CITATION BACKGROUND: THE CONTEXT IN THE STATE OF QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA Australia is a federation of six states and two territories (also referred to as the Commonwealth of Australia). Under the Australian Constitution, education is a state/territory responsibility and this autonomy is strongly defended on the basis of the need for responsiveness to geographical size and population dispersion, different histories and contexts, and regional needs and circumstances. Most public expenditure on education is sourced from direct or indirect taxation collected at country level and distributed through the states. Schools are government (public/state) or non-government with the latter made up of Catholic and Independent sectors. Approximately one-third of all school students are enrolled in non-government schools. Non-government schools are supported through state and federal government funding. Government school funding is mainly a state/territory matter though some funds also flow from the federal government. Most non-government schools also charge fees. Indigenous students comprise 3.4 per cent of all Australian school students. The percentage of Indigenous students enrolled in Queensland (5.3 per cent) is higher than the national average because of higher concentrations of Indigenous peoples in the north, especially Cape York and the Torres Strait Islands. Most Indigenous students in Queensland, (88 per cent) are enrolled in government schools. Currently, there is compulsory schooling in Queensland for 6-15 year olds (school years 1-10) with the two years of post-compulsory schooling for 16-17 year olds (school years 11-12).
