The problem…
• Too many students are failing in our schools.• Too many teachers are discouraged.• School is struggling to remain relevant.• The cost to our community and economy is
huge

Unequal outcomes
• 14% not learning or earning - 50% in some places
• 20% fail to complete Year 12 - 50% in some places
• Complex social, educational and health issues especially in poor schools- no known solutions

Why BP?
• Provides a long term social process of change.
• Confronts the institutional barriers to change that one off or disconnected strategies can’t...eg literacy and numeracy programs, well being etc
• It is therefore very complex and long term work.
