Australia is a first-world country and yet our students are falling behind other nations. Teaching was once held up as the noblest of professions but today the vast majority of teachers believe the public doesn’t respect them. Around the country there are public schools achieving phenomenal results and yet in the very same jurisdictions there are public schools barely staying afloat. In our new groundbreaking series Best in Class we will examine these profound problems and find the critical solutions we need. Because nothing less than the future of our children depends on it.
