This submission makes the following recommendations: • That governments collect data around which student groups are streamed into ATAR and non-ATAR streams, and their relative outcomes over time. • That school level metrics be developed on the education and employment outcomes of Year 12 graduates, beyond Year 12 completion rates. • That higher education institutions be supported to develop further curriculum and meaningful pathways for non-ATAR cohorts to engage in higher education. • That more transparent ethnicity data be collected to create a better understanding of how ethnic minority groups are faring in the Australian education system, highlighting areas of need and strength. • That specific reporting on the education success and outcomes of children in out-of-home care be developed within both the schools and the higher education sector. • That specific funding be allocated to support children in OOHC within schools, including through trauma-informed approaches that recognise their broad and unique support needs. • That children in out-of-home care be considered a priority equity group within both schools and higher education sectors, and that policies be aligned across sectors.
