Answer

I travelled to Gold Coast between 24-27 October 2024. I was invited to participate in a panel discussion on education reform. While in Australia, I met with a number of people, including the then Director General of Education in Queensland, the then Head of the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority and the CEO of Australian Council of Education Research.
