Michael Lester Interviews Jane Caro — Education Reform and the Future of Australian Schools

In this insightful episode, Michael Lester speaks with Jane Caro, renowned writer, journalist, and activist from Northern Sydney. Jane shares her perspective on the latest proposed reforms to school policy by National Education Minister Jason Clare, including the creation of a new ‘super agency’ to unify four existing agencies. Coming on the heels of the $16 billion national schools funding agreement, Jane argues that while administrative changes may help improve public schools’ lagging Year 12 completion rates, they do little to address Australia’s deep social divisions.
