After almost a decade in the industry, we’ve been exposed to the faults that currently exist in the education system. Australia was ranked 39 out of 41 countries for achieving quality education in 2017 by the United Nation’s Children’s Fund (UNICEF) which analysed the performance of students in reading, maths and science. As a first-world nation that usually ranks within the highest percentile for child well-being indicators, the data may come as a shock to Australians. However, the data reveals stark findings about our education system that have seemingly been ignored over the last decade. From jam-packed classrooms with an average 1:30 ratio, an over-reliance on standardised testing and a one teaching method fits all approach, there’s no wonder that Australian students are lagging behind their international counterparts.
