Disclaimer - I have worked in the public education sector in several different roles for around a decade and also have two children who have just completed school, the youngest finishing last year. A large number of my extended family also work in education, with one extended family member, up until recent retirement, having one of the most senior roles in our states education system, regularly appearing in the media as a spokesperson for the sector.

 

Australian public schools like the public broadcaster have been taken over by the left and spend too much time teaching themes such as the LGBTXYZ and no time at all on important life basic skills such as managing money, ( right wing stuff ) buying a home ( right wing stuff ) or how look after yourself by showing some entrepreneurship and starting up and running a business ( right wing stuff ). The education system has a very strong bias towards pushing students towards university ( left wing bias ) on the understanding that " that will get you a better job " never considering or teaching that many young people could start their own job and employ others rather than relying on large businesses or governmernt to employ them. ( left wing bias )

 

The result is, no matter how much money governments throw at education, literacy and numeracy skills continue to fall and Australia's education standards are now some of the lowest when compared to other developed, international countries.
