The following National Framework for Values Education in Australian Schools has been developed from the outcomes of the Values Education Study (2003) and widespread consultation on a Draft Framework. The Framework recognises the values education policies and programmes already in place in education authorities and Australian schools. It also recognises that there is a significant history of values education in government and non-government schools, drawing on a range of philosophies, beliefs and traditions. It acknowledges that schools in all sectors are developing effective approaches to values education in the twenty-first century.
