critically examine factors and issues and the relationships between culture, language, identity and history influencing students’ learning experiences in Australian educational settings
evaluate current national and state legislation and educational policies aimed at improving access, participation and success within the Australian education system students from culturally diverse backgrounds; socio-economic backgrounds; rural and remote students; and non-English speaking backgrounds and refugee circumstances, and assess their implications for the profession
