"It's challenging. But what an opportunity." Leading educator @chriscawsey talks to CEO @dougtayloruw about the review to Inform a Better & Fairer Education System & the challenges faced by students experiencing disadvantage that must be addressed. WATCH https://t.co/JE0vXCW2nJ

Australia has one of the most segregated education systems in the developed world. The outcomes on literacy and numeracy are embarrassing, sitting at the bottom of global tables. All of this is by design. The numbers are right there on the funding charts.

The Review for a Better and Fairer Education System has put its finger right on the problem...

Shout out from @ahiskens for the importance of the @Creative_Vic financial support and ongoing programming partnership for @AMaGA_Victoria - something somewhat unique nationally #AMAGA2023

[The Project @theprojecttv]

Literacy and numeracy are the basic skills necessary for everyday life. But according to a new report, schools are failing our kids at both. So is it time to go back to the drawing board and what would modern schools look like? Former Principal @EdRev joins us.
