Policy Analysis and Program Evaluation

Program evaluation is fundamental to improving educational outcomes. ACER’s Policy Analysis and Program Evaluation team contributes to the development of high quality policies and programs in education and allied fields, such as public health, in several ways. We design and implement effective evaluations using a range of qualitative and quantitative methods. We conduct original research that contributes to evidence-based policies and programs. We undertake analysis of policies and practices for both government and non-government organisations. We work closely with schools, businesses and community groups to help them identify need, collect data, monitor programs, and measure the impact of their policies and practices in relation to their objectives.
