Schools Commission

The Schools Commission was an Australian government body established in 1973 to oversee and improve the education system. It aimed to ensure that schools received adequate funding, particularly for public and disadvantaged schools, and to promote equal access to quality education for all students. The Commission provided recommendations on educational policies and was involved in the development of programs that addressed issues like student welfare and curriculum improvements. Its work influenced significant reforms in education funding and policy until it was disbanded in the mid-1980s.
