Could Australia have a better and fairer education system?
Professor Pasi Sahlberg will present the next Faculty of Education Dean’s Lecture:
Could Australia have a better and fairer education system?
Education systems around the world are facing a complex and persistent challenge. Despite a 20 percent increase in schooling expenditures over the last 15 years, educational performance has stagnated or declined across OECD countries—and Australia is no exception to this troubling trend.
In this free public lecture, Professor Pasi Sahlberg proposes three principles for a new educational paradigm to transform Australian schools:
- Empowering children and teachers to drive meaningful improvements;
- Building healthier relationships and deeper collaboration in and between schools; and
- Reintegrating Australia into international education policy discussions to learn from and contribute to the global dialogue on the future of education.
