Title: Waiting for Gonski :how Australia failed its schools /Tom Greenwell and Chris Bonnor. Author: Greenwell, Tom,(author.). Location: 379.94 GRE Added Name: Bonnor, Chris, (author.). Subject: Education and state -- Australia. Education -- Australia. School improvement programs -- Australia. Educational change -- Australia. ISBN: 9781742237268 (paperback) Collation: x, 337 pages ; 24 cm. Summary Note: "Why is education in Australia failing? Where did we go wrong, and how do we fix it? The Gonski Review seemed like a breakthrough. Commissioned by Prime Minster Julia Gillard and chaired by leading businessman David Gonski, the 2011 review made clear that school education policy wasn't working, and placed a spotlight on the troubling and growing gap between the educational outcomes of disadvantaged children and their more privileged peers. Gonski proposed a model that provided targeted funding to disadvantaged students based on need, a solution that promised to close the gaps and improve overall achievement. And yet, over a decade later, the problems have only worsened. Educational outcomes for Australian schoolchildren continue to decline, and there is a growing correlation between social disadvantage and educational under-achievement. So why hasn't Gonski worked, and what should we do now? Written by teachers Tom Greenwell and Chris Bonnor, 'Waiting for Gonski' examines how Australia has failed its schools and offers inspired solutions to help change education for the better." - Back cover.
