Parents’ Attitudes to Information about Schools

The Parents’ Attitudes to Information about Schools survey was undertaken to enable the Australian Government to gain a broad understanding of parent attitudes to school transparency and reporting issues.

The survey collected data on the views of parents of school-aged children about:

• the importance of a range of types of information about schools (such as information about the student population, school environment, subjects offered, extra-curricular activities, communication, staff, performance in national testing, school fees, funding, etc.);
• the extent of availability of information about schools;
• the relative importance of reasons for making information about schools available;
• their child’s individual school reports.
