The politicisation of teacher education. Private school funding has increased twice as much as public school funding in the decade since Gonski.  How competition is ruining Australian education. US- Pandemic relief funds spent on anything BUT education UK- removing the tax free status of private schools. Great State School of the week - Rockbank Primary Schoolwww.adogs.info

In 2012 the Australian government attempted to ‘fix' the country's education system. The Gonski review laid out a roadmap to reduce the impact of social and economic disadvantage on a child's education. But more than decade later government policy has had the opposite effect. Guardian Australia reporter Jordyn Beazley outlines how an unfair funding model is entrenching inequality in Australia

More than a decade after the Gonski review into Australia's school funding aimed to reduce the impact of social disadvantage on educational outcomes, educational outcomes for Australian schoolchildren are getting worse. The success of Finnish educational outcomes shows that equity drives excellence for all students.

"I am a high energy experimental physicist, searching for new fundamental particles using the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. My work is split between data analysis, where I focus on the application of novel machine learning methods such as anomaly detection to enhance our discovery potential, and detector development, namely upgrading the readout electronics for the liquid argon calorimeter of the ATLAS experiment. This variety means that in a single work day I can go from working hands-on with engineers on a printed circuit board setup, to testing training algorithm configurations, and end with a hundred-person meeting, and I am always energized by the fast pace gear shifts! This Snowmass process will bring together experts across these disparate activities and prepare recommendations on the future course of the field, and my role is to facilitate the participation of early career physicists in the conversation. Outside of physics, I enjoy mixed martial arts, skiing, and struggling to learn French." My Journey as a Physicist is brought to you by PhD student Bryan Stanley (he/him/his) and Prof. Huey-Wen Lin (she/her). Season 2 is edited by Varalee Sakorikar. Season 2 consists of members of the Particle Physics Community Planning Exercise known as Snowmass.

Ten years have passed since the landmark Gonski Review found the performance of Australian students had declined, across the board, compared to international benchmarks. What has happened since Gonski? What makes for a good & equitable education system? Why are so many teachers demoralised and leaving the profession? Paul Barclay spoke to a Finnish education expert, and a former primary school teacher.

Anyone interested in how education policy is made and unmade, in school funding models, their historical and contemporary development and their effects on equity, will find this book fascinating. The ‘Gonski' review of Australian education funding, commissioned in 2010 by a Labor federal government, sent an expert panel of educators from different sectors on a listening tour of the nation. Submissions from thousands of schools revealed that existing policies were not serving those students most in need of support. The panel sought ways to respond to the troubling and growing gap between the educational outcomes of disadvantaged children and their more privileged peers. Their report proposed a model that provided targeted funding to disadvantaged students based on need, a solution that promised to close the gaps and improve overall achievement. Optimism gave way to intense politicking from lobby groups and many of the Gonski recommendations fell by the wayside or were twisted in ways that reinforced existing inequities. Over a decade later, the problems have only worsened. Educational outcomes for Australian schoolchildren continue to decline, and there is a growing correlation between social disadvantage and educational under-achievement. Commonwealth funding continues to be skewed towards wealthier private schools and Australia's PISA results are moving in the wrong direction. So, the authors ask: why hasn't Gonski worked, and what should we do now? Written by experienced educators with a keen interest in policy, Tom Greenwell and Chris Bonnor, Waiting for Gonski examines in detail how and why Australia has failed its schools and proposes solutions for the future.

Rod Gonski “Talks about the Weather

Where did you go to school? Over the last 30 years, non-government schools have doubled in size as more and more parents are opting for greater school choice. How these schools are funded has been a point of contention.School funding is provided by partnerships between the federal and relevant state governments. Private schools are predominantly funded by the federal government, while public education is mostly drawn from state funding. A funding model for private schools is set to come in next January, but will this ensure all independent schools are fairly funded? And is the amount of money going to private schools fair and equitable when compared to the staffing and resources struggles of public schools?This week, host Toby Hemmings was joined by Glenn Fahey, research fellow at the Centre for Independent Studies and Associate Professor Jane Hunter from the University of Technology Sydney School of Education to discuss how money is spent on private and public education in a post-Gonski world.

Julia Gonski is a post-doctoral physicist at Columbia University, and a recent Ph.D. graduate and from the Harvard ATLAS group. Her research applies novel machine learning techniques to find interesting events in the terabytes of data produced by the Large Hadron Collider. Her work led to the first neural net-based tool to find evidence of high momentum Higgs particles that decay in a common way via data produced by the ATLAS detector.

We hear a lot about the huge differences between the wealthiest private schools and the public system: sports centres, state of the art libraries, manicured playing fields. But there are also big differences between public schools and most of it is down to how much parents at different schools earn and contribute.

Dr Glenn Savage is a Senior Lecturer in Education Policy and Sociology of Education at the University of Western Australia. His current research examines the development of national schooling reforms and how policies in systems impact on ideas and practices in schools. He is also a Senior Honorary Fellow in the Melbourne Graduate School of Education at the University of Melbourne. In this interview we unpack the Australian education report, Gonski 2.0, and its implications for teachers and school leaders, along with the relationship between policy and practice globally. 

Talking Teaching this week dives into a lively discussion about the value and messages contained in Gonski 2.0 From Growth to Achievement.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejikilian is alert to the challenge of operating in today's difficult electorate. “The digital age has brought a sense of empowerment. It's brought a sense of greater appreciation of democracy and the political process and we need to not only respond to it but adapt to that and make sure that we are listening during our term in office, not just at election time.” With her government having just handed down a budget with an enviable surplus, she says the federal government's Gonski legislation will leave NSW better off “in terms of dollars”. But she is very concerned about what she sees as an urgent need to review the numerous and “clumsy” federal-state partnerships. She'd prefer a more fundamental overhaul but that's not on the horizon. “I don't want piecemeal reform - I would prefer to have wholesale reform but I can't see that happening in the near future and for that reason I think as a state leader I have to deliver as much as I can under the existing circumstances”.
