Education Minister Erica Stanford announced today that the government will step back from building new, open-plan fit-outs.
These dynamic spaces were thought to be the new cool thing to keep students engaged, a move away from a stuffy, British schooling model.
But this announcement comes after years of schools disassembling their 'state-of-the-art' classrooms, putting the walls back up for some peace, quiet and control.
Dr Sarah Aiono is the CEO and Director of pedagogy consultancy Longworth Education and joins Emile Donovan to discuss the change.
