Our Focus
The problem we’re trying to solve is that Australia’s education system is segmented, unfair and underperforming. Young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are the worst off.
There is wide consensus that broader and deeper recognition of learning is a key lever for change. What and how we recognise learning is important because it determines post school pathways to further learning and work.
There is a unique opportunity to build a more equitable education system as broader ways to recognise learning continue to grow. To achieve this a coordinated effort from people and organisations at all levels of the system is required, alongside a sharp focus on equity.
Educational equity
Australia does not have equitable and inclusive education. Young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are worst off.
Why change the ATAR?
How we recognise learning is contributing to the problem. Broader recognition of learning is a key lever for change.
Growing demand for change
New policy and practice are already emerging. There is wide consensus that broader recognition has the potential to transform the life trajectories of young people.
Backing First Nations self-determination
Learning Creates are committed to a First Nations self-determined approach that values, respects and trusts Indigenous learning aspirations and recognition.
Young people at the centre
Young people have historically been excluded from decisions that impact their learning. Learning Creates is committed to embedding young people’s voice and agency across all levels of our work.
Community ownership
We partner with Communities across Australia who are working to create change for young people within the current education system.
