We looked at staff salaries at 40 private schools. These pay the most (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Teacher wages at some of Melbourne’s private schools are expected to dip below increases for experienced teachers at public schools, with school leaders foreshadowing further pressure on private school budgets. Teachers walked off the job at an independent school in Melbourne’s west on Thursday, arguing the school’s pay offer falls well short of the public school teachers’ 28.3 per cent increase over the next four years. The Age has analysed the total remuneration of staff at more than 40 privat
A lecturer replaced himself with an AI avatar. His students couldn’t tell the difference (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When university lecturer Luke Rowe decided to replace his recorded online lecture with an AI-generated avatar of himself, he expected his students would notice immediately that something amiss.

Al Siraat College in Epping has grown by 911 students in the past 10
Iranian researchers blocked at universities taking hardline approach (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two Melbourne universities are not accepting applications from Iranian students to study research degrees such as PhDs, as they take a hardline approach to complying with federal government sanctions. The tightening of enrolments has led Australian-based Iranian academics to call for the universities to reconsider the policies, which they say have unfairly prevented students from adding to fields such as medicine, food science and architecture. Deakin University and Swinburne University are not
