This is the sixth seminar in the series for the 'Federalism in Australian Schooling: Its impact upon quality and equity' research project. Previous seminars have considered how Federalism has impacted on our education structures throughout Australia's history. This seminar not only turns to a consideration of the contemporary environment, but seeks to look at experiences outside the educational realm in an effort to discern potential lessons for federal developments in the educational domain.
