‘Ideologically-driven’ education system ‘failing’ Australian children | Sky News AustraliaDr Bella d'Abrera, Director of the Foundations of Western Civilisation Program at the Institute of Public Affairs\n\nAnother year, another set of abysmal PISA results which reveal that our education system is failing Australian children. \n\nAs the Minister for Education Dan Tehan rightly pointed out, these results “should have alarm bells ringing.” \n\nWhile he is also right to point out that state and territory governments should get their act together, there is also something he could do at the Federal level. \n\nMinister Tehan needs to scrap the ideologically driven and outdated cross-curriculum priorities from the national curriculum once and for all. \n\nThese ubiquitous cross-curriculum priorities - “Sustainability”, “Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures”, and “Asia and Australia’s engagement with Asia” are shoehorned into English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, the Arts, Technologies, Health and Physical Education, and Languages, whether relevant to the subject or not. \n\nFor example, in English students will “develop the skills necessary to investigate, analyse and communicate ideas and information related to sustainability, and to advocate, generate and evaluate actions for sustainable futures” while in Mathematics, “students can develop the proficiencies of problem-solving and reasoning essential for the exploration of sustainability issues and their solutions.” \n\nThe problem of overcrowding is made worse by the inclusion of an extra seven “general capabilities”, some of which include “Personal and Social Capability”, “Ethical Understanding” and “Intercultural Understanding”.\n\nLike the cross-curriculum priorities, teachers are also required to integrate the “capabilities” into the coursework. \n\nThese capabilities have little to do with essential knowledge but a great deal to do with social justice and political commentary. \n\nIn Personal and Social Capability, students “gain an understanding of the ro
