What are the biggest factors causing inequality in education in Australia and the UK, and can these be addressed through policy?

这项研究计划旨在量化和比较影响澳大利亚教育机会不平等的因素，从一个复杂的文学领域提供一个新的框架，以集中决策。这将涉及编程回归工具极端边界分析的大型数据集的新应用，以确定影响教育不平等的因素。其目的是建立一个量化的理解是什么与澳大利亚教育成果的不平等，并通过与英国和其他经合组织国家使用最相似的系统设计进行比较研究，确定根本原因和最佳政策实践。

This research proposal aims to quantify and compare factors affecting inequality in educational opportunity in Australia, providing a new framework from a complex field of literature, to focus policy-making. This will involve programming the novel application of the regression tool Extreme Bounds Analysis to large datasets to determine factors affecting educational inequality. The aim is to develop a quantified understanding of what is linked with inequality in educational outcomes in Australia, and identify root causes and best policy practice through comparative studies with the UK and other OECD nations using Most Similar Systems Design.
