Play-based learning is generally associated with preschool children, but new research provides a model for playful learning at school.

ACER is working with the Indonesian Government to support children not participating in early childhood programs who are falling behind in their learning and development.

ACER’s Research Conference 2018 took place in Sydney in August, with leaders in education from around the globe coming together to explore the theme ‘Teaching practices that make a difference: Insights from research’.
