Equity Issues In Student Financial Literacy, Sue Thomson
Equity Issues In Student Financial Literacy, Sue Thomson
Teacher columnist - Sue Thomson
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on national economies has underlined the necessity for strong personal financial literacy. With people suddenly able to draw money from their superannuation or freeze their mortgage repayments in order to meet expenses, it is vital that they have the skills to evaluate the costs and benefits associated with such options. Financial education therefore has a role, in conjunction with consumer protection and regulation policies, in equipping people to attain the appropriate skills and knowledge in financial literacy.

The OECD’s Teaching and Learning International Survey provides a voice for teachers and principals internationally.

Within just a few weeks, the nature of teaching and learning has been flipped, nationally and internationally.

Feeling Safe At School – What Does The Research Say?, Sue Thomson
Feeling Safe At School – What Does The Research Say?, Sue Thomson
Teacher columnist - Sue Thomson
Most people would argue that children should feel safe at school. For some children, school is possibly the only place in which they feel safe. However, when we see reports of school shootings and large-scale violence in school communities in other countries, we are reminded that this is not universal. On a more day-to-day level, bullying, and cyberbullying in particular, can significantly influence students’ perceptions of school safety. However, the ramifications of bullying on students’ levels of stress and wellbeing are not always considered as elements of school climate.

Stem: What’S Holding Females Back?, Sue Thomson
Teacher columnist - Sue Thomson

We rightly celebrate great achievements for women in science, such as the Nobel Prizes awarded in Physics to Donna Strickland and in Chemistry to Frances Arnold this year, but why are these achievements such a rarity?
