Student press in 1960s Australia was political, now it’s more Prozac
In 1967, the academic year began with student newspapers saturated in politics. At the National Union of Australian University Students (NUAUS) summer conference, concerns were expressed about the presence of ASIO agents on university campuses. ASIO, they had reason to suspect, had files on students they regarded as a potential security risk. More...21 décembre 2017
How school has been used to control sovereignty and self-determination for Indigenous peoples
Indigenous Australians have been denied self-determination for decades. This has impacted their ability to influence education and other policies at national and state levels. Recently, Prime Minister Turnbull rejected the recommendation that an Indigenous voice be constitutionally recognised in the parliament.

Supporting part-time and online learners is key to reducing university dropout rates
Attrition does not mean dropping out. It just means the student did not continue their study in the following year.

We have marriage equality, now we need LGBTQi+-inclusive sexuality education in schools
The results of the same-sex marriage postal survey were clear: Australia voted in favour of equality. The marriage equality bill has passed, and the mandate to deliver inclusive sexuality education in schools is more pressing than ever. LGBTQi+-inclusive sexuality education should embrace diversity in the classroom, the staff-room and in whole-of-school policies. More...21 décembre 2017
How Australia can help reform higher education in India
The Indian higher education system faces stiff challenges. Australians may not imagine they’re well placed to help. But there are opportunities for exciting collaboration between Australia and India in reforming higher education. More...21 décembre 2017
Vocational education and training sector is still missing out on government funding: report
The Mitchell Institute’s 2017 report shows that while spending on schools and higher education continues to grow, vocational education and training (VET) expenditure is going in the opposite direction. We are spending less on VET now than we were a decade ago, in real terms. More...21 décembre 2017
Schools are not adequately preparing young Australians to participate in our democracy
Australia’s youth are interested in politics and are passionate about issues but, unless we take note of the latest report into civics and citizenship education, their capacity to participate in democracy and shape society in future may be limited. More...
