NAPLAN: Time to think differently

One possible solution to the NAPLAN problem is to abolish standardised testing and undo the market based system of schooling.

Are the latest NAPLAN results really an 'epic fail'?

Are the latest NAPLAN results really an 'epic fail'?

My study clearly shows no long-term decline in NAPLAN results from 2008 to 2022. In 2023, they changed the way the test was organised.

Nuclear power makes no sense for Australia – but it's a useful diversion from real climate action

Insisting nuclear power is the only way for Australia to achieve net zero by 2050 is a classic move from the playbook of those who oppose urgent action on climate change.

What do teachers do in the school holidays? They work, plan, and rest

While teachers may appear to get more holidays than most other professions, the reality is they are not actually on holiday for all of this time.
