Important – Please Read Carefully
It looks like your child has fallen behind. There are serious gaps in their learning. Do not postpone it anymore as it is likely to get worse. Time is valuable. Take the first step to give them the future they deserve.
These days the number of students who do not understand the material that is being taught at school is increasing significantly. As a result, they are becoming bored and consequently, disengaged. Once students are disengaged, they fall behind even more. The number of students in this category is on the rise.
There are many reasons for this situation:
As the Australian curriculum is overloaded with many subjects, topics and learning areas, teachers at schools are struggling to focus on the core subjects: Maths and English. Additionally, the number of students in the classroom is excessive. It is extremely challenging for teachers to teach for understanding when they have many students with various abilities and diverse learning styles in the same classroom, a matter that will only snowball the gaps they have in their learning.
Moreover, most primary schools in Australia do not have subscribed textbooks, hence, there is a lack of structure and guidance for teachers. Furthermore, a lot of work needs to be put into the university courses to better prepare teachers for the classroom.
These are only a few of the many reasons that exacerbate the crisis that is our education system in Australia.
Considering that the two core subjects build on previous knowledge, having gaps hinders a student’s progress, and therefore early intervention is key.
