Research project presentations

The Elite Schools in Globalising Circumstances project has been under way for five years and has produced conceptually highly innovative and empirically intriguing results, paving the way for future studies of elite schools.
To showcase some of the innovative work this project has produced, there was a special one-day event run on 25 March 2015 at the Faculty of Education, Monash University.
