Saturday Extra with Geraldine Doogue
Radio National 7:30 - 9am Saturday and always online http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/saturdayextra/
Geraldine Doogue here inviting you to join us for Saturday Extra this week and a discussion on the big one for Australia: our schools. Why aren't they working better, why are they delivering literacy rates supposedly below those of Portugal and Bulgaria? The pressure of international comparison benchmarks is forcing this to the centre of politics and we've assembled a terrific group to suggest ways out, for ALL our kids, not just some.
And some undeniably good news for some children of Afghanistan - musical tutoring courtesy of our own gem, broadcaster Emma Ayres, who is just back from teaching at a very special school of music in Kabul.
Plus, Frank Sartor joins us, a man with an incomparable birds' eye view of the incredible stories about the politics of self-interest as revealed in the NSW ICAC inquiry.
