Election series: Informing national debate on education policy
The Mitchell Institute’s election series provides timely, independent analysis of education policy in the lead-up to Australian federal elections. The series is designed to inform public debate by assessing policy proposals, identifying key challenges, and outlining priorities for reform.
Drawing on the Institute’s research across early learning, schooling, and tertiary education, the series highlights the most pressing issues facing Australia’s education systems. It focuses on where policy settings are falling short and where change is needed to improve outcomes and equity.
The series translates complex policy issues into clear, accessible insights for a broad audience, including policymakers, media, and the public. It aims to elevate the role of evidence in election conversations and support more informed discussion of policy choices.
By providing independent, research-informed perspectives, the Election series helps ensure education remains a central part of the national policy agenda and that proposed reforms are grounded in what works.
