the university entry rank amid concerns from teachers that it encouraged students to pick subjects for their ATAR value.Professor Shergold's report is due to be presented to the country's education ministers next week. It looks at how to integrate Vocational Education and Training with academic pathways for school leavers.
Professor Shergold, who is also the chancellor of Western Sydney University, said while pastoral care in schools was better than a decade ago, "the level of career guidance is much worse than it used to be 10 or 15 years ago". "The person who is working shifts at McDonalds is learning a huge amount. The disadvantaged student who is learning to care for their parents is learning a huge amount. The Aboriginal person in a remote community who goes and does secret men's business is learning a huge amount."
Let’s give all kids an award. That will make everyone feel good. Education system is a lost cause.
He's absolutely right. The only reason to choose certain subjects is because of university (highly overrated) admission requirements. Aside from that, you'd be crazy not to game the system by choosing subjects you might be less interested in, but likely to score higher in.
YESSSSS
