Assignment

The operation and management practices of schools in Australia and overseas are in a constant state of flux and change, and this is a response to changes in society and the needs of nations to equip the youth of today with the skills and understandings required for life in tomorrow’s society. Clearly, the change in the past two decades is the impact of the digital world on people’s life and work, and its effect on schools to equip students with digital skills. During 2017, the Australian government has continually raised the need for students to have coding and digital skills, and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) has been regularly touted as a skill base for tomorrow’s citizens. Schooling reform papers and reviews have been prepared for Australia government agencies and overseas government agencies. There have been significant reform reviews and position papers on secondary schooling reforms undertaken for the Australia’s federal government, and state and territory governments

Your task is to explore the discussion and debates about schooling reforms in a review of AT LEAST FOUR reform papers published in the past two decades. You will need to demonstrate a critical understanding of the current research about schooling reform, its development over the past two decades, and take a clear and justified stance in exploring a range of existing schooling operations and practices

Prepare a report and make clear reference to at least FOUR reviews or position papers prepared for Australian federal, state or territory government agencies (national reports) or other government agencies outside of Australia (international reports). In your report include:

• at least ONE review or position paper that is focussed on middle schooling,

• at least ONE review or position paper that is focussed on senior secondary schooling,

• at least ONE review or position paper that is focussed on Indigenous schooling, and

• at least ONE review or position paper that originates from an international agency, for example, the USA or UK

. • a conclusion that integrates the commonalities of findings/recommendations for the reports.
