Where are the education academics CMM asked yesterday, reporting a Grattan Institute proposal for a new schools’ research federal agency. Well, some of the work Grattan proposes was being done by the ARC  Science of Learning Research Centre, a learned reader reports.  “Education faculties are starved of research funding and buried under the enormous and growing burden of accrediting teacher education programs. We had the foundation for such an agency with the SLRC but funding is about to end, just as we are starting to get traction,” the LR laments.
