Wealthy, exclusive schools have friends in high places and have achieved a peculiar status in Australia: it is as if they are in our national school system, yet not of it.
Congratulations @Michelebruniges and @Anncaro11 for your well deserved recognition and work on behalf of government school teachers and students in NSW and across Australia. Thank you.
Our society simply no longer judges schools according to their merit but, rather, according to the social status of the children they teach. Sad but true @JaneCaro

Treating public schools as competitors in an education marketplace shifts blame downward, obscures chronic underfunding and corrodes the very purpose of public education.

Full-service schools combine education, health, social and wellbeing supports inside the school. They are designed to help remove barriers that prevent primary and high school students from attending, engaging and learning.

A thought-provoking read from the ASPA blog on how school reforms and AI risk amplifying inequalities unless systemic barriers are addressed. As Chris Bonnor says, “AI doesn’t level the playing field – it exposes and amplifies existing inequalities.” Read: https://t.co/ahDXtaGXk1
David McBride has been refused leave to appeal. We’re disappointed, but not surprised. His prosecution has been political from the start — punishment for telling the truth, not breaking the law.
Our system is broken. When politics corrupts justice, there is no justice.
With every legal avenue now closed, we call on Attorney-General Michelle Rowland to grant David a pardon.
Supported by @theinforights we ask all Australians who believe in truth and fairness to stand with us — sign the open letter ⬇️

Politicians don’t listen until people make them. People power works. Let’s make them hear us.

Mark Morris, founder of Fair School Australia and SGEA, recently published the 'Fed Up' report, revealing that a striking 92 per cent of Australians do not believe the school system is fair and equitable.

Australia’s grossly unregulated private tutoring industry has ballooned into a billion-dollar operation, with vulnerable students lacking proper protections and parents with little assurance of quality, new research has warned.

"Australia has used the money of all taxpayers to further advantage some of their children, and further disadvantage others."
A worthy read from @janecaro on the inequity of school funding.

Equity needs courage, not more research. Australians fed up with inequity in schools, survey shows

Excellent article by @JaneCaro on the baked in inequity in our schooling system. Where wealthy kids are privileged once again over those using the public school system.

"What Australia has done over the past quarter century is create two parallel, publicly funded education systems: one with all the rights and one with all the responsibilities."
“This problem was not caused by public schools. It was caused by ideologically driven governments, snobbery, greedy churches, anxious parents and a pusillanimous bureaucracy. There are solutions….Other countries have managed it perfectly well.”https://t.co/Rl1YlR40Yn
An outstanding piece by Jane Caro. The lack of urgency in govts is depressing. For a realistic, at least partial solution, I recommend Australian Learning Lectures report by Chris Bonnor and Tom Greenwell https://t.co/vkbaKGp0xb
