Q+A's recent education special discussed whether Aussie kids are getting the education they need?

'Our global education ranking has plunged, results in reading, maths and science are in decline, and a toxic culture of sexism and bullying persists in too many high schools' was the program's premise.

It led to a lively debate between the panel Vy Tran, John Collier, Eddie Woo, Tanya Plibersek, Adrian Piccoli and the audience. 

APC was in the audience and had a question shortlisted about the role of parents in education was and whether we should be viewed as partners, but sadly we didn't get to ask it.
