Point #1: "Purpose".

While the authors stated THEIR purpose ("a prosperous, cohesive and culturally diverse Australia"), then proceed to discuss how to achieve it, in reality there exists no commonly agreed-on purpose for having schools in the first place!

I find it almost amusing to hear the very people who are part of the gang that runs the failed education system waffle on about how the system should be run. Well, don't bloody waffle on about , do it ! Isn't that what you get paid for by our tax dollars ?

A look at education nationally would be useful, and an "audit" would be a small part of that. However, my suggestion would be to focus on the education, resourcing and payment of teachers.

Change is possible. Like schooling, Australia's university system has been using an industrial model. This is changing: for ten years I have been teaching university students online, and for three years tutors teams face-to-face working on projects for industry clients. My university has demolished its central lecture theaters complex, and replacing it with flexible rooms for group work. Some schools are making similar changes. However, to effect such change, university and school teachers need to be trained, resourced and PAID appropriately.

ps: I have proposed "Micro-credentials by Mobile Phone for the Solomon Islands", but this could also be applied in Australian schools: https://blog.highereducationwhisperer.com/2018/11/micro-credentials-by-mobile-phone-for.html
