The policy platform

Australia, and Queensland in particular, has a long and proud history of educational policy supporting equity principles for all students. Contrary to popular notions that girls alone have been the policy focus, a quick review reveals otherwise. Gender equity policies provide a solid basis from which schools can address issues of boys' education.
