An Examination Of Some Aspects Of Grade Placement Of Children, Australian Council For Educational Research (Acer)

The three investigations reported here deal with three aspects of the grade placement of children of the same age. Originally, they were carried out as independent projects, but as the conclusions became obvious it was seen that they were really closely related. The first attempts to answer the question "How many children pass through all stages of primary education without repeating a stage?”. The second compares the achievements in reading skills of children in the same grade but of different ages. The third is purely factual and compares the performances of children who are repeating a grade with those of …

1946 Term Dates : Primary And Secondary Schools In The Australian States : Numbers Of Pupils Involved., Australian Council For Educational Research
Information Bulletin
This 1945 bulletin was compiled by the Australian Council for Educational Research based on Australian state Education Gazettes to show the dates each of the three school terms by state and level of schooling. It estimated the numbers of pupils affected for each type of school in each state. Term dates for Private Schools were not available, and assumed to show great variation even in any one State.
