CPD Fellow Chris Bonnor on disadvantage in our school system

On Tuesday 29 March, CPD fellow Chris Bonnor and his research partner and co-author Bernie Shepherd will release School Daze: What My School really says about our schools.

Using data available through the My School website, School Daze is a booklet that analyses the state of the Australian education system, and seeks to challenge commonly-held beliefs about schools and school performance in ways which might contribute to a better debate.

 

The authors examine various socio-educational challenges currently being faced by our primary and secondary schools, and warn that we are at risk of creating a two-tiered school system.

Chris and Bernie have extensive expertise in educational policy. Amongst their various other qualifications, they are retired school principals with a combined 80 years experience in education.

School Daze was featured on the ABC’s Lateline on 22 March. You can watch the segment on My School findings here, and a follow up interview with NSW Education Minister Adrian Piccoli here. 

School Daze will be available on the CPD website and elsewhere from 29 March.
