India’s students reject the compliance machine

India’s student protests exposed a deeper crisis: an education system built around high-stakes exams, compliance and fear is no longer delivering secure futures or good jobs.

Entitled schools are taking on entitled parents: what about the students?
Lyndsay Connors

Entitled schools are taking on entitled parents: what about the students?

Governments have fostered a sense of entitlement in private schools. They should be enforcing the principle of putting students first.

Government is contorting itself on overseas students
Abul Rizvi

Government is contorting itself on overseas students

High student visa refusal rates and extreme fee increases are blunt, haphazard tools for cutting net migration. Australia needs a long-term migration plan it can explain and defend.
