This project will improve our understanding of the factors that lead to the under-representation of low income students in universities in Australia and other countries. The focus of the analysis will be the impact of a student's family and household environment and innate ability on their school performance, an essential pre-requisite for university admission, together with the costs of university education. Identifying the relative importance of these factors in determining educational success will enable families, schools, universities and educational policy-makers to improve opportunities for high ability students from all socioeconomic backgrounds. This will in turn enhance economic growth and productivity, benefiting all Australians.

该项目将提高我们对导致澳大利亚和其他国家大学低收入学生代表性不足的因素的理解。分析的重点将是学生的家庭和家庭环境以及天生的能力对其学习成绩的影响，这是大学入学的基本先决条件，以及大学教育的成本。确定这些因素在决定教育成功方面的相对重要性，将使家庭、学校、大学和教育政策制定者能够改善来自所有社会经济背景的高能力学生的机会。这将反过来促进经济增长和生产力，使所有澳大利亚人受益。
