The Morrison Govt doesn’t give a stuff about “fault lines” in Australia’s schooling or care that private schools do what they please. Any problem for private schools is an excuse to throw bucket loads of govt $$$$ at them. And public schools? No LNP pollie frickin cares. #auspol

One thing we know about Australian schools is that they are becoming more segregated, characterised by either privilege or poverty. And governments aren't helping. insidestory.org.au/when-scho… @pasi_sahlberg @JaneCaro @MaralynParker @SOSAust @LilaMularczyk @aliceleung @VerityFirth

This is the disgusting way schooling works in Australia. Rich schools using the system to gobble up all they can because they can. All government approved and stuff the public school kids. smh.com.au/education/public-…

Not surprising that the Coalition announced today it is pledging to impose a phonics test on Australian Year 1 school children. It is bereft of any vision for schools beyond testing and measuring. #AAREblog #EduResearchMatters aare.edu.au/blog/?p=2028

The private companies taking over education in Australia via NAPLAN (now fatally flawed) include Pearson, UNSW Global and the National Foundation of Educational Research (UK). They are involved in creating & marking-and get access to all of that data on our children and schools.

Disadvantaged postcodes more than any other, need well resourced *local* Public Schools to be jewels at the centre of their communities. Enabling community building and life long learning opportunities and Active travel. #springst @SOSAust

Education expert warns new test confirms huge gaps between kids of different backgrounds. @TurnbullMalcolm plan will only make these worse by directing most funding to schools that need it least. ow.ly/ngur30h2BqV
