The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Education is calling for submissions to its inquiry into the factors driving educational attainment.
The inquiry will examine a wide range of issues that influence educational outcomes, including gender differences, cultural and linguistic diversity, and socio-economic status. It aims to identify practical, evidence-based strategies to improve educational outcomes for all learners throughout the course of the education journey.
Committee Chair, Hon Tim Watts MP, said 'Educational attainment has a profound impact on individuals, communities, and the broader economy. We want to hear directly from parents and students, school communities, educators, and experts about what is working well and where improvements are needed'.
'Submissions are a vital part of the inquiry process. They help us understand the issues and ensure that recommendations are informed by evidence and real-world experience', Mr Watts said.
The Committee welcomes submissions by Friday, 12 June 2026. Submissions should ideally be no longer than 10 pages and may address some or all of the inquiry terms of reference.
