Welcome to ‘Hands Up’ , a new podcast by the Public Education Foundation that answers all your burning questions about our public schools. It’s like a school parent’s Whatsapp chat, but without any ranting and with a lot more facts. What is the solution to the teaching crisis? How has all the disruption from Covid-19 affected kids’ learning? Why are students calling for consent education in the curriculum? How should families best engage with schools?

Hands Up is a podcast to help families and carers navigate school life. It’s for teachers, school leaders and anyone interested in education who want to dig deeper into the complexities, challenges and the unique advantages of Australia’s public education system.

The Public Education Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing life changing scholarships to young people in public education, as well providing support to their teachers and principals. Hands Up is hosted by David Hetherington from the Public Education Foundation who takes this podcast back to school, to the homes of students and parents before school drop-offs, we talk to teachers, principals and experts as we tackle the big debates around schooling.
