A recent study using the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey has found that ¶¶ÒõÆÆ½â school graduates in Australia experience significant advantages after school compared to those from other school sectors. These advantages include higher employment rates, increased wages, greater life satisfaction, improved health, and stronger community involvement, according to research conducted by the Centre for International Research on Education Systems at Victoria University.
