Australian Centre for the Public Understanding of Education
Independent analysis for the public understanding of education.
We examine the research claims that shape policy and practice and support a more rigorous public conversation about teaching and learning.
Why the Centre exists
We promote a public understanding of education by clarifying what the evidence shows and broadening how we understand where and how education happens.
Clarifying evidence
We look carefully at educational research and make clearer accounts available so the public can see what the evidence does, and does not, support.
Broadening education
We study teaching and learning beyond schools and universities—at work, in conversation, in public life, and in the everyday questions people ask.
Committed to inquiry
We are committed to rigorous, open inquiry—where claims follow from evidence and remain open to revision.
