School segregation, inequality and trust in institutions
This study looks at segregation across the high schools of Santiago, Chile, and the levels of trust students hold in key institutions. Confidence in government and private institutions, such as parliament, courts, government agencies, the Church, the media, banks and firms, is important to political and social stability and for maintaining social cohesion. The results from a survey of high school students are used to examine the links between seg…

Educational Stories
A common complaint among those involved in teaching the educational foundations is the reluctance of many trainee teachers to engage in issues of educational theory. This is particularly apparent with those trainees who are more concerned with managing classrooms of children than grappling with what are often abstract and difficult ideas. This paper considers the current use of educational stories as a pedagogical strategy in teacher training, an…
Early school leaving in Australia
The new agenda for education and training in Australia which has emerged during the 1990s aims to increase the participation of young people in post‐compulsory education and training. The policies are driven by an assumption that Australia's micro‐economic reform requires a workforce which has been equipped by the education system with specific skills for employment. However, within this policy development, little consideration has been given to …
Gender Differences in Mathematics Participation in Australian Schools
In Australia girls have been underrepresented in mainstream mathematics in senior high school. Yet is this true of all groups of girls? Using data gathered in four high schools, this study sought to document the extent to which girls’ participation in mathematics varied depending on social class and school background. The results show that while girls are less likely than boys to take up university‐preparatory mathematics subjects, particularly a…
Dropping Out of School in Australia
School dropout rates in Australia fell dramatically during the 1980s. At the beginning of the decade about two in three young people left school early, compared to less than one in three at the decade's close. The aim of this article is to look at changes in the characteristics and outcomes of early school leavers across this critical period. Data for the study are from the Australian Longitudinal Survey and the Australian Youth Survey. Results s…
Cultural Consumption and the Educational Plans of Australian Secondary School Students
This article assesses the impact of cultural consumption on the educational aspirations of Australian secondary school students, taking into account other factors, such as the students' social origin and the type of school they attend. The analysis indicates that cultural consumption is a significant source of differentiation among boys' plans to obtain a higher education but has less of an impact on girls' plans. However, girls' plans are less d…
