Why Parents Choose Public or Private Schools

Adrian Beavis, ACER

Abstract

Assumptions have often been made about what parents are looking for in the school they select for their children but there has been little evidence to support these assumptions. An ACER study for The Sydney Morning Herald looked into the reasons behind the drift away from public schools in Australia and asked what do parents really think of our schools?
