Let’s return briefly to NSW Education MinisterPrue Car’s speech,which included this news:
High potential and gifted education will be rolled out in every public school in the state under a new plan to challenge the students who are not reaching their full potential.
Such programs were only available in half of the state’s public schools,Car said,but fixing that would depend on tackling the state’s teacher shortage.
“Parents deserve to see high potential and gifted education inside the doors of every local school,” Car said this morning.
“Parents want confidence that regardless of their choice of school,that the learning environment will bring out the best in their child.
“Our vision is that in NSW,high potential and gifted education will be delivered in every public school,in a high-quality offering,in a way that is valued by students,parents and teachers alike.”
