Education, health, and well-being predicate life opportunities. Our aim is to improve educational outcomes for children, teachers and the wider community through socially relevant and ethically committed research with our research partners.
Our studies span early childhood through to higher education and we lead the way in cutting edge interventions. Our research builds evidence-based knowledge and identifies solutions that improve learning and quality of life for all people, especially those experiencing inequity, disadvantage, on the margins and at risk.
Change isn’t created in silos. We believe strength exists in bringing varied perspectives together in our research. That’s why we engage with partners to connect our research with policy and practice.
Our researchers, partners and students engage in projects funded through a range of nationally competitive schemes. In working across projects they build and strengthen our research connections.
