The Australian Education Boom No One's Talking About

The Quicky

About this episode

With recent teacher strikes and classrooms under pressure, more parents are making a radical choice for their kids... homeschooling.

We explore why families from all walks of life are bringing the classroom home, the challenges they face, and what this boom means for Australia's education system.

And in headlines today, US envoy Steve Witkoff has offered some of the first details of what was discussed at the weekend's summit in Alaska between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin including Putin agreeing to Article 5-like protection for Ukraine by the US; It’s Vietnam veterans day today, marking 50 years since the end of the Vietnam war, and still more than 2000 Aussies who fought in the conflict are waiting for recognition of their service; Terence Stamp who played the iconic trans character Bernadette Bassenger in Priscilla Queen of the Desert, has died aged 87
