I agree with @hunter_jordana at @GrattanInst - “We don’t stand for being beaten by England in cricket, and we shouldn’t stand for it in mathematics. That’s why our refreshed Victorian Teaching and Learning Model 2.0 will support every school to deliver high-quality, explicit

Our ambition is to ensure every child from any background can read fluently. Studies show children learning by the phonics method are two years ahead of their peers. We’ll put high quality phonics at heart of teaching children to read. #EducationState
