ACT's Education Experiment: Recalibrating for Success
Update: 2025-12-21
Description
In the Australian Capital Territory, a decentralized education system from the 1970s is under scrutiny. While it initially succeeded, recent declines in literacy and numeracy scores, uneven results, and inconsistencies in policies have led to calls for change. An independent inquiry, led by Professor Barney Dalgarno, resulted in eight recommendations for explicit teaching, evidence-based practices, and better central support. The ACT government has accepted these recommendations, aiming to maintain school autonomy and community input while ensuring fairness and improved student outcomes.
