Understanding educational opportunities and outcomes: A South Australian Atlas

Published: January 2010

This project has been funded by the SA Department of Education and Children's Services as a joint undertaking between The Smith Family and PHIDU. It focuses on learning and development, and the differences in education outcomes across communities in South Australia that need to be addressed. It is hoped that the report and additional data on the Internet will highlight communities and groups within the populations where action is needed to improve learning and development outcomes.
