Chaired by Paul Barclay Join Big Ideas’ Paul Barclay for a fascinating conversation from two sides of the educational fence with the same sense of schooling: a system that resembles an over-decorated Christmas tree. Professor Pasi Sahlberg, a leading Finnish researcher based at UNSW’s Gonski Institute, meets Gabbie Stroud, prominent recovering teacher, to discuss the way back to success for Australia’s students, schools and teachers, and the complex mess that currently stands in the way.

Around the world, education 'reforms' have made schooling more market-mimicking and competitive, rendering education a 'club good' for the better off. Finland shows how treating education as a public good and teachers as autonomous professionals brings better student performance overall, without intrusive and expensive inspection.

In this podcast the themes discussed were: The concept of trust and how it works in schools. How to build a trust-based culture within a school. How Finland emerged as a trust-based education system after years of top-down control. Inequality and inequity in Australian and Finnish education. Accountability in education. A conversation that’s sure to get you thinking about trust in education and how it transpires in a variety of settings.
