DESCRIPTION

The annual National Report on Schooling in Australia (ANR) is published by the Ministerial Council on Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs (MCEETYA) through its Secretariat.

The report is delivered to Australian parliaments to inform policy makers and the Australian public.
