Abstract

This is the fourth in a series of studies investigating the resourcing of Australian primary schools. The study found the Australian primary schools do not have sufficient resources to achieve fully the goals set for them by governments; in many of the schools serving low socio- economic communities, the shortage is acute. However some of the challenges facing primary schools are nor due to a resource insufficiency. [p.ix, ed]
