Changing Australian Education How Policy Is Taking Us Backwards and What Can Be Done About It

A critical analysis of Australian education policy and a vision for a futures-focused, adaptable system.

Emeritus Professor Alan Reid examines the state of public education in Australia, revealing the damaging effects of neoliberal policies and a standardization discourse. He argues that these approaches have failed to address the challenges of the future, leading to teacher disillusionment and a decline in educational quality. Reid presents a new vision for Australian education, one that prioritizes flexibility, collaboration, and student-centered learning.

This ground-breaking work offers a positive vision for the future, emphasizing the importance of education as a builder of strong and adaptable communities. Discover how to:

• Understand the influence of neoliberalism on education.
• Promote equity and social justice in schools.
• Empower educators to shape policy and practice.
• Create a futures-focused curriculum that prepares students for a rapidly changing world.
