Australia is marching headlong into the American trap. Private schools are well funded fortresses of privilege, producing the “winners,” while public schools are left to carry the load with fewer resources, higher needs, and falling results. It’s a system that dumbifies the general population while propping up a narrow elite. If we keep going down this path, we’ll soon need to import our top professionals (just like the USA) because we’ll be too stupid to grow our own.
Now comes the federal government’s grand solution: the Teaching and Learning Commission, a new mega-agency to merge four education bodies into one. It’s being sold as the fix for falling Year 12 completion rates, declining literacy and numeracy, and a public system on life support. Targets are ambitious, lift completions, raise NAPLAN results, cut the literacy/numeracy gap.
But will this actually solve the problem ? Or just centralise power, add bureaucracy, and give ministers more distance from the classroom? Unless inequality is tackled headon and public schools properly funded and supported, no shiny new commission will save us. We can’t keep outsourcing education to private schools and expecting public education to limp along.
Australia doesn’t need another bureaucratic restructure. We need equity, investment, and faith in teachers. Otherwise, we’ll just become a nation of imported smarts and local mediocrity.#education #australia #privateschools #publicschools #equity #inequality #teachers #literacy #numeracy #policy #boganNation #auspol

Nuclear power ran in Germany from the 1960s until April 2023, when it was completely phased out . But hey, geniuses from Australia are just now thinking about building nuclear reactors, seven of them across the country.

Australia's HECS-HELP debt has topped $74b. How long does it take the average student to pay theirs off?
#ATO has released the country's 100 largest #HECS debts through a Freedom of Information request – and the highest debt is a whopping $737,000.
The second-biggest has ballooned to nearly half a million dollars, with the third coming in at $387,000. The lowest in the top 100 was more than $219,000. #freeeducationforall #auspol #boganNation #AMERICANISATION -
For a mere $21 million, a handful of multinational corporations, led by #BHP and the Minerals Council, saved themselves countless billions in tax payments, which drained government revenues and helped ensure the nation's finances remained in deficit for decades #mining #MiningTax #auspol #boganNation
