Q+A on Education: Are We Failing? |
|
| | |
|
| Are Aussie kids getting the education they need? Our global education ranking has plunged, our students' results in reading, maths and science are in serious decline, and a toxic culture of sexism and bullying persists in too many of our high schools.
Next week on Q+A, we take a look at our schooling system and ask: Is it up to scratch?
Joining Hamish on the panel live from the ABC Ultimo Studios in Sydney:
Tanya Plibersek, Shadow Minister for Education
Adrian Piccoli, Director, Gonski Institute and former Deputy Leader, NSW Nationals
Eddie Woo, High School Maths Teacher and Internet Sensation
John Collier, Principal, St Andrew's Cathedral School Sydney
