[edit] Scope

The scope of this project is revolved around handling all articles related to Education in Australia. Past experiences from Wikiproject Education in Canada tell us that contributors are more inclined to work on K-12 school articles.

Less serious issues

• Public and private education in Australia - Found this article tagged as needing immediate attention. Seems to be listed due to lack of sourced material. Is classed as of mid importance. Not sure how this would be classed for this Project as it hasnt yet been tagged. Boylo (talk) 09:14, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
