Wonder if Childcare Co-Ops would be more attractive to childcare workers than the traditional Company-Employee hierarchy.

Eitherway, it wont be a quick fix. The Childcare sector have created a reputation that the career is stressful and unrewarding, despite the amount of education, ongoing study, and time that workers need to commit.

#internationalstudents lured to #Australia by unregulated world of foreign agents – people who are paid huge bonuses by private providers to lure students into substandard courses with assurances of full-time work and a path to permanent residency #slavery #AusEdu #education

@kerriesmith I don't disagree up to a point (i taught in public system for 38yrs) but the cards are so stacked against kids like ours.

Money doesn't "make" a school good but it sure helps with resources, incl staffing: educ support staff for the kids that need them, specialist teachers for the smaller Subject areas (literature, languages, law, drama that are too expensive to run for Yrs11/12), music equipment that works, computers that are sufficient in number for all students, sports equipment, money available to pay for struggling families to take kids on excursions and camps... i could go on endlessly.

Public schools would do SO much for all areas of curriculum with the govt money that is siphoned off for private schools. Those schools that already get payment from parents. The wealthy effectively pay fees but then get public (their) money back again in the form of tax payers money. Is řeally immoral and represents $$ millions every year.

@Godfrey642 A motivated student will succeed no matter where they go to school. Both my kids went to the local public school, and I was a single mum on a shoestring budget. They are both successful not through anyone else’s efforts but their own hard work and determination. Screw private schools! #AusEdu

Deeply concerned that 40% of students in Australia are in private schools. They get the lions share of govt money. Tax payers money. MY MONEY and it's simply wrong.

AUS is slipping further back in the PISA global educational ranking against countries like Finnland Germany Sweden, where there is huge investment in govt schools and private schools are generally frowned upon.

Only when the vast and committed majority of parents have children enrolled in govt schools, will standards improve.

That Aus schools receive govt funding at all is a monstrous malpractice and should stop if we want standards in education hete to improve. #AusEdu #AEU #Nationalcurriculum #AusLabour

@JasonClareMP@twitter.com Meanwhile private schools hang aircraft for decorations.. How about cutting that to $0 for schools charging over $15k/year and giving it all to the underfunded public schools you are ignoring.
Or maybe you want to continue the inequality work of your predecessor?

South Australia Dept of Education defend KPI-based exclusionism.
(such as banning Prom attendance)

... despite the fact that many modern studies identifies that "Social exclusion has a negative effect on educational performance."
