The Department of Education, Science and Training and the Department of Defence engaged KPMG Consulting in association with the Australian Council for Educational Research, to complete a scoping study to assess the impact that frequent family relocation has on learning outcomes of school-aged children from the preparatory years to Year 12. This study focussed on the school-aged children of families that have experienced relocation, including those of the Australian Defence Force personnel.
The project:
- assessed the impact that family relocation and student mobility has on the learning outcomes of school-aged children from the preparatory years to Year 12, in particular, literacy and numeracy achievement in the primary years of schooling:
- reviewed, assessed and documented student records information which government and non-government schools provide to the families of school-aged children from the preparatory years to Year 12; and
- developed strategies that reduce any adverse impact on the learning outcomes of school-aged children that may occur as the result of family relocation and student mobility.
