DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SCHOOLS FACTORS (Teese,
2004)

• INTAKE SELECTIVITY (e.g., academic, SES,
  ethnicity)
• CURRICULUM PROVISION AND POLICY
• SIZE
• TRANSITION EMPHASIS AND CURRICULUM CULTURE (e.g.
  links with TAFE, university extension, focus on
  university or VET)
• LOCAL INDUSTRY AND LABOUR MARKET
• PROXIMITY/REMOTENESS OF TERTIARY PROVISION
• MIX OF TERTIARY PROVISION AND PERCEIVED RELEVANCE
• ARE OBSERVED DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SCHOOLS DUE TO
  (A) POLICY, OR (B) ADAPTATION TO THE SOCIAL
  ENVIRONMENT OVER TIME?
