Abstract

This report explores the representations of democratic education, youth, citizenship education and curriculum change in Australian schools in national print media. A collection of keywords from the education literature were used to systematically select print media articles (n = 746) across four major Australian newspapers (The Sydney Morning Herald, The Daily Telegraph (Sydney), The Age (Melbourne) and The Australian) over a 10-year period (2014 to 2023). From this selection of articles we identified clear themes which provide a window, at least from a reportage point of view, into the importance or otherwise of the broader issues of democratic education, youth, citizenship education and curriculum change in Australian schools.
