Delay to My School the height of hypocrisy - Save Our Schools
The delay in launching My School 2.0 exposes the hypocrisy and double standards of the Federal Government syas Save Our Schools Convenor Trevor Cobbold.
"When private schools complain about inaccuracies on My School, the Government caves in without a whimper. When government schools complain about inaccuracies, the Government ignores them," he says.
"When My School 1.0 was launched a whole gamut of problems were identified which disadvantaged government schools, such as comparing the results of small low socio-economic status government schools with high SES private schools. Yet, the Government went ahead even though these criticisms were subsequently found to be justified."
"If the Government is serious about fixing inaccuracies on My School it would go back to the drawing board on like school comparisons because the new system to be used in My School 2.0 is still biased against government schools," says Mr Cobbold.
"My School has yet again been discredited as being unreliable and inaccurate. It should be abandonded," he added.
