State government eager on increasing spending on education

The Sydney Morning Herald recently published an article for the effective use of technology and investment on more professional development for teachers to help them to efficiently manage the classroom behaviour. The report emphasises on having larger groups in classrooms since the number of students per class is already small. Reducing the class sizes will not improve the learning environment and in turn reduces the classroom participation of the students. It is also important to lay great emphasis on incorporating digital platform into the learning landscape through the use of iPad in classrooms which can enable them to make of these devices in way which can enhance student’s learning horizon.
The federal government is planning to increase the spending on education to $23.5 billion in an effort to improve classroom dynamics and elevate student learning. The concern was raised in a report that was published by David Gonski (an Australian public figure and businessman) in which he stated that Australian schools need teachers who are specialist in early literacy and numeracy intervention and are trained on effective classroom management. The emphasis was also on professional development outside of classroom in which they can prepare, review and refine lessons and collaborate more with other teachers.
