Within 5-10 years, the hardest schools for kids to get into will be public schools. The authors examine demographic trends, political policy, enrolments and the direction of society as a whole. Kids most likely to miss out on a place in a public school are middle class kids, and that the next generation of Australian middle class parents will be the first for 150 years who will have no choice but to pay for their children's education. Australia has embarked on a radical and unique education policy and, if current policies and trends do not change, will become the first western democracy to dismantle its public education system

Increased funding will be tied to concrete improvements in all schools under the government's National Plan for School Improvement, announced on Monday in response to the Gonski Review. The government has set a goal to see Australian schools ranked in the top five for student performance in reading, science and mathematics by 2025. In order to get there the government says it will deliver higher standards and extra training for teachers, more power for principals, a "school improvement plan" for every school, and identification of struggling schools and extra help to lift their results. The Conversation has collected a panel of responses to the National Plan for School Improvement.
