Summary

The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) was established in 1930. Initially the Council was funded by a grant from the United States' Carnegie Corporation. By the mid-1940s the Commonwealth and State governments were all providing funding for the Council. ACER is an independent, non-profit organisation that devises ways to improve learning. Its mission is to "create and disseminate knowledge and tools that can be used to improve learning."
