How Young People Are Faring Report to be released on 8 October
How Young People are Faring (HYPAF) is the pre-eminent research report into the education, employment and overall wellbeing of young Australians. The upcoming 2009 report is the 11th in the series and focuses on the global economic downturn and the subsequent impact on young people’s aspirations, employment opportunities and education pathways.
Commissioned by The Foundation for Young Australians and prepared by the Centre for Post-compulsory Education and Lifelong Learning (CPELL) at the University of Melbourne, the 2009 edition of HYPAF provides an opportunity to assess patterns of engagement in education and training in the context of the Government’s education and training agenda.
Various measures of attainment, participation, and transition are used throughout the report to shed light on a host of policy issues, from access to education to the quality of educational outputs. HYPAF will provide policymakers and others with the opportunity to:
- compare different aspects of education and training for young Australians
- assess the role of different sectors, from school education to higher education and vocational education and training
- identify areas that may need attention to help improve student outcomes and transition.
The 2009 HYPAF report will be available at www.fya.org.au from Thursday, October 8.
