Dear Friend

It gives us great pleasure to formally present Lessons from Canada: an equal school system is possible, our latest publication.

The report Lessons from Canada shows that with the right politics, regulations and funding in place, Australia can build an equal school system.

The report is the result of a study tour of Australian educators and researchers to a single comparable country to learn more about possible approaches that have significant potential to enhance educational delivery in Australia.

The Australian Learning Lecture and Leading Educators Around the Planet commissioned the tour and report. The report has been co-authored by Tom Greenwell and Chris Bonnor who wrote Waiting for Gonski and Choice and Fairness, a proposal for a common framework for all Australian schools.

Lessons from Canada urges Australians to look at seemingly intractable problems in new ways, and to challenges basic assumptions about how our education system should operate.

The publication focuses on Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec. It includes case studies and vignettes from the educators who participated in the tour.

You can download the full report and concise summary from: https://all-learning.org.au/equity-lessons-from-canada/

We are committed to driving a new conversation, which is badly needed, as a lack of quality education for all is not good for our young people’s future or our prospects as a country.

To that end, we would love to hear your reactions to the report and the findings/ recommendations. Please send any comments to canada@all-learning.org.au
