Beschreibung
In an examination of the impact of education policy on Australia's diverse student population, this book asks if increasing the years of compulsory schooling can make the positive social impact its proponents claim. The authors' analysis reveals a policy disjuncture wrought by competing agendas of increased school leaving age and school choice.

"Compulsory Schooling in Australia is a valuable and timely addition to current explorations of post-high school outcomes particularly for students for whom school has been difficult or alienating. Using data from students, parents, and teachers, Reid and Watson provide rich insights into the worlds of students who are expected to negotiate schooling in today's neoliberal context. This book promises to be a significant resource for academics, educators, policymakers, parents, and students. " Carl James, Professor, York University, Canada
