About

The Centre for Public Education Research (CPER) has been established to commission, disseminate, and publish independent academic research pertaining to public education; in particular, research that may be relevant to those working in the sectors of early childhood education, public schools, and Technical and Further Education (TAFE).

CPER’s work will reflect more broadly the values of public education, initiate research that supports the teaching profession, and alert the profession to critical and emerging issues.

As well as publishing existing research and commissioning new research, the Centre will also organise seminars, public forums, and professional conferences on a range of contemporary education issues.
