Education in the Age of COVID-19

 

This week, Q+A tackles Education in the Age of COVID. 

Students and teachers are seeing the biggest disruption to our education system in generations. The debate over when to ease restrictions and re-open schools and universities is fraught, with different messages coming from State and Federal governments.

What’s the long-term impact of remote learning? What strategies could see teachers and students returned safely to schools? How will our beleaguered tertiary sector recover? And has the pandemic made existing inequities even starker?  

Joining Hamish live on the panel:

Nick Coatsworth, Deputy Chief Medical Officer
Lisa Jackson Pulver, Deputy Vice Chancellor, University of Sydney
Mark Scott, Secretary, NSW Department of Education
Lian Davies, Principal, Whittlesea Secondary College
With a live cross to 
Dan Tehan, Minister for Education

Please submit a question via our website by 12pm Monday for the chance to ask the panel live via Skype.

Watch Q+A Monday 9.35pm on ABC TV, streamed live on ABC iview or on our website.
