Whybrow seems nervous, his summation is disjointed, it's like he's unprepared, he's all over the place, he's making molehills into mountains. His character assassination of Brittany Higgins is disgusting. Justice Lee not having any of it. 🐝

Our governments can easily fund all public schools properly. They have all made commitments to do so. The improving budget position is our opportunity to get it done now. ⁦⁦@CHaythorpeAEU⁩ ⁦@AlboMP⁩

Australia’s governments don’t allocate enough government money to government schools. As a result, the gap between rich and poor students is growing. Time for urgent action. theage.com.au/politics/feder… #auspol #education

New school targets, funding boost needed to overhaul ‘entrenched’ disadvantage: report

School systems would need to hit higher attendance and NAPLAN targets and provide greater funding transparency, under an expert panel’s proposals to the nation’s education ministers.

IMO the PISA results show one main point - Australia needs to close the gap between children from the most advantaged backgrounds and those from the least advantaged backgrounds. This means funding public schools at 100% of the schooling resource standard. abc.net.au/news/2023-12-05/p…

Students throughout the world have fallen behind on reading and maths during the pandemic, but Australian teens have managed to buck the trend.
