About this episode
One way that inequality becomes baked into Australian society is through education.
For decades, the school system has become increasingly stratified – to the benefit of private schools and detriment of public ones.

Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper Jane Caro on why Australia stubbornly clings onto the myth of education equality and the damage it’s doing.
