Individual, Institutional and Community 'Capacity Building' in a Cluster of Disadvantaged Schools and their Community

在道德上、社会上或经济上，有很大比例的学生被疏远、边缘化并被排除在令人满意和有益的教育经历之外，这在伦理上、社会上或经济上都不再是可以接受的。预计这项研究将为澳大利亚带来的国家和社区利益将是更好地理解并可能缓解对弱势个人、机构和社区产生的结构性教育障碍。建立这样一个社会符合国家利益，在这个社会中，所有成员，而不仅仅是特权阶层，都能从有益的教育经历中获得终身利益。

It is no longer ethically, socially or economically acceptable to have significant and growing proportions of the school population that are alienated, marginalised and excluded from a satisfying and rewarding educational experience. The national and community benefits for Australia expected from this research will be a better understanding of, and possibly alleviation of, the structural educational impediments that operate on disadvantaged individuals, institutions and communities. It is in the national interest to have a society in which all its members, not just the privileged, gain lifelong benefit from a rewarding schooling experience.
