Stephen Lamb

Stephen Lamb is professor emeritus in the Centre for International Research on Education Systems at Victoria University. He is director of the International Study of City Youth project, and his research is concerned with how well schools and education systems work, for whom they do not work well, and why. He has published across several areas, including educational inequality, school-to-work transition, the schooling of disadvantaged students, school effectiveness, and education system policy. He has undertaken a range of high-impact policy research projects for governments and school systems, both nationally and internationally, on school funding, performance of schools and school systems, and quality of school programs.
