Research Centre, Programs and Projects

The School of Education has many research strengths, expressed through a variety of research programs. Some of these are centred in the School of Education, while a number are aligned with the Centre for Educational Research (CER). Research programs comprise teams of researchers, postgraduate students and other partners who are committed to a common research area, and who collaboratively plan to win research grants, undertake field research, and publish in their field.

Some of our key projects and programs of educational research, include:

• the programs of CER (Globalisation and Educational Practice, Sustainability Education, Equity in Educational Outcomes)
• research in low SES communities
• research on the educational experiences of refugees
