Dr Lisa Darragh: Setting education up to fail?

from The Frontline with Dr Gary Payinda · host Big Hairy Network

The Frontline spoke with a maths education researcher about international test scores, smartphones in classes, bullying and behavioural problems in students, streaming in classrooms, teacher defunding, charter schools, and the stripping of professional education funding from teacher's aides. Plus the introduction and rollout of the 3rd curriculum for schools in the past 3 years. There's a wrecking ball coming for public education that makes me wonder whether it's following the same model as public healthcare: "defund, destabilise, and privatise".Have a listen as Dr Lisa Darragh shares her learnings about maths education and how best to maximise resources and positive impact in the public school sector.
