Federal education minister Simon Birmingham commissioned a report concluding Australia’s education system has “failed a generation” of school children.
Lower grades in maths, science and English over the past 18 years has led the Turnbull government to pass “Gonski 2.0”, a school funding plan late last year.
Gonski 2.0 has been reviewed by businessman David Gonski. Gonski states that Australia needs to overhaul its “industrial model” of school education, declaring it no longer helps students maximise their learning growth.
