Join us for a powerful and thought-provoking conversation about the current state of education and literacy in Australia with Jane Caro – renowned journalist, author, social commentator, and public education advocate.
Jane is widely known for her passionate campaigning for fully funded public schools and her fearless commentary on education policy, equity, and the future of literacy.

In this one-hour session, Jane will share insights on:
The challenges facing education in Australia today
What’s happening in literacy education – and what really matters
The impact of funding disparities on children, teachers, and communities
Why defending public education is a collective responsibility
