TER #004a - Independent Public Schools, Part 1 - August 25 2013




Teachers Education Review show

Summary: In episode 4 we discuss Independent Public Schools, focusing on the Western Australian model that is the basis of the Federal Coalition's education election platform. We speak with NSW Education Minister Adrian Piccoli about his rejection of the model, and how IPS is different from current NSW govt. policies regarding school management. We also speak to Anne Gisborne, President of the State Schools Teacher's Union of Western Australia, about the University of Melbourne review into the first few years of IPS in WA, and the experiences of teachers in WA not represented in that report.
