After 14 years of false starts, Gonski's reforms are finally becoming reality
By Conor Duffy

Twenty of Australia’s wealthiest private schools received a staggering $130m in public funding in 2023.

A privilege to publicly engage on #Education and #EducationPolicy issues in #Ontario, #Canada, and #GlobalSouth and on #COVID.

Thanks to the #Journalists who spoke with me and who prioritise education stories. We owe them a debt of gratitude. Below are just a few.

Because I'm new here, I'm posting some of my favourite interviews of 2022 by way of #Introduction to some of my work. (1/13)

Firing the #Superintendant is almost always part of the plan. Usually step 1. We just saw that in Berkeley, SC. It has happened all over North Texas too. They wanted to do it in Round Rock. It's about to happen in Sarasota, Fl.

: OK, I'm new to Mastodon. I created a new account here: https://edumasto.org/web/@thefluffy007 to focus on #educationpolicy and #edtech. Not sure if I was supposed to do that, but here we are. LOL.

Hi all, I'm an assistant professor of higher education at Saint Louis University. My research primarily focuses on community college student persistence and success. I consider myself primarily a quantitative researcher and rely heavily on quasi-experimental methods. I teach courses in college access and success, higher ed finance, higher ed policy, assess and eval in student affairs, and mixed methods.

As an #introduction, I have a Ph.D. in education policy and spend my days cobbling together data at a nonprofit research firm. I study higher education, focusing on topics such as college access, financial aid, and graduate education. Outside of work, you can find me enjoying nature, devouring desserts, and cheering on the UNC Tar Heels. Looking forward to seeing what the pachyderm is all about!
