Defining a financially sustainable independent school in Australia

(2017) Defining a financially sustainable independent school in Australia. Masters by Research thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Independent schools in Australia have $10 billion in annual turnover, educate 594,000 students, employ 53,000 teachers plus other staff, invest billions of dollars into infrastructure and service debt of approximately $3 billion. Financial stakeholders have little empirical evidence on the attributes of a financially sustainable independent school from which to make an informed decision on financial risk. This innovative qualitative study uncovered thick, rich descriptions from a broad range of expert stakeholders to define a financially sustainable independent school and document a comprehensive list of attributes.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
