Episode Details

Public school enrollments in New South Wales plummet for the seventh consecutive year, with parents like Sarah from coastal Newcastle switching to private schools to secure top high school spots. This shift, led by girls in secondary years, exacerbates residualisation, where advantaged families leave public schools, leaving behind disadvantaged students. Experts warn of a potential private high school majority in over a decade. The state government counters with new programs and funding, but analysts call for bigger fixes to prevent unequal opportunities across communities.
