Social Inclusion in Education Conference

13 - 14 September 2010

Radisson Plaza Hotel, Sydney

 

Now in its 2nd year, the Social Inclusion in Education conference presents the perfect opportunity to further discuss enhanced equity in education through cross sector understandings and partnerships.

This unique event will explore the priorities for the Government’s social inclusion agenda and the strategies and programs being used to integrate low SES and disadvantaged students in education. A key focus of the event is to discuss the challenges impacting universities and tertiary institutions in attracting and retaining students.

The forum not only examines practical solutions for developing aspirations to education but also draws attention to the fundamental changes required within the sector to increase participation of low SES and disadvantaged students. Delegates will have the opportunity to learn about the programs being used to prepare these students for higher education and to enhance student learning outcomes not just aspirations. You will also hear about industry and community partnerships being developed to facilitate innovative research and to accommodate increased student numbers.
