This report is the result of a study tour to Canada to learn more about possible approaches that have significant potential to enhance educational delivery in Australia.

Only fifteen minutes from Parliament House, four Canberra schools reveal the growing segregation in Australian education — and how government policy is at its heart.

Uncertain goals and doubts about effectiveness have prompted a major reappraisal.
