Plenary session: A vision for the future of student empowerment
Join us for the Launch of the Australian Framework for Student Empowerment (AFSE).
The Australian Framework for Student Empowerment (AFSE) is a national initiative aimed at strengthening student voice, agency, advocacy, and partnerships in education. It provides a set of guiding principles and practical strategies to help schools, educators, and policymakers create environments where students are recognised as active participants in shaping their learning and school communities.
Developed through extensive consultation and research, the AFSE does not prescribe a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, it offers a flexible framework that can be adapted to different school and community contexts, ensuring that student empowerment is both meaningful and sustainable.
By establishing clear standards and guidelines, the AFSE helps schools foster inclusive, student-centred learning environments where students have genuine opportunities to contribute, lead, and advocate for change.
