Abstract

Australia’s education research field faces a complex, fast-changing policy environment with a highly interventionist Federal government. Prior ERA assessments have failed to capture the strength and diversity of Australian education research, disadvantaging women, First Nations, and regional researchers. Nationally competitive education research funding has declined, alongside ARC grant success. Most funding comes from Category 2 public sector sources, while research commercialisation remains a valuable income stream, with education among the top five disciplines. Education research publications have also grown significantly, ranking third in output growth. Opportunities exist to advance education research, particularly through the Federal government’s priority on elevating First Nations knowledge systems and fostering educational sovereignty. Transdisciplinary collaborations with health and STEM and expanding research commercialisation offer further potential. The cADRE report outlines 10 key recommendations to guide ACDE’s strategic priorities for intervention, lobbying, and action to strengthen Australia’s education research future.
