Sky News host Peta Credlin says it's no wonder Australian students' results are so poor 'when the curriculum is crowded out with gender studies and climate hysteria'. Credlin

Sky News host Peta Credlin says it's no wonder Australian students' results are so poor "when the curriculum is crowded out with gender studies and climate hysteria". Ms Credlin said the latest results showing Australia's global education standing is plummeting "are a scarifying reflection" on national outcomes and a "more worrying reflection on our national process".

"You won't be surprised to learn that China and Singapore come first and second on every measure. "In these countries teachers are respected, education is valued, and academic rigour is fundamental. "And, beyond the test results, neither of these countries have the 'every child deserves a prize' claptrap that's poisoning our own system.

Credlin is ridiculous and deserves ridicule. Australia is ranked 21st out of more than 70 OECD countries. It is not a fail at all. Australian students out-performed students from many western jurisdictions.

Kids can't read properly, write properly or add up without a calculator but they can define the 27 different gender identities.

Poor Peta Credlin can’t seem to remember she was advisor to a government that initiated the drop in student performance... I wonder why? *glug* *glug* *glug* lol 🔥🚗🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

Not to mention all those Christian preachers we pay for... $250 million worth....

The cause is a long and systemic failure in the education of our teachers, resulting in inadequate (but highly) unionised teachers in state school classrooms - and, when they fail there, in Education Departments where they push 'progressive Leftist' policies. Poor kids!

Teachers should stick to to teaching what there suppose to be teaching

Great yet another ignorant journalist working for sky news

Absolutely spot on! Peta, thank God for you and Alan Jones🙌

The Curriculum has been ‘dumbed down’ for 10 +years now! The results are no surprise to me and I’ve been an educator for 38 years. I’ve said this before, I have major concerns for the future of this country. Get back to the basics and limit device time.

Well said Peta

The fact is Australian students are failing against the rest of the world even though more money has been poured into education.

She gets it right again. Smart chick is Peta.

Zacklywright Protesting Students know all about Climate Science, how come they scored so low in Science exams?

They also engage in an assault on absolute morality, which is the basis for every brainwashing scheme of the education system, It even removes logical thought , common sense and provides students a method to defend repetitive stupidity and ignorance!

It’s quite sad that maybe one of the children that spent the day (days?) skipping school was that ONE that then missed a class that would give them the info that caused them to go onto be THE person to invent a solution to climate change, man-made or natural. butterflyeffect

Exactly. Children are being failed by dopey teachers too preoccupied with left wing propaganda!! Too bust indoctrinating rather than educating.

Clearly has no idea what actually happens in schools. What an idiot

Again more drivel from fake news channel Sky.

If I had gender studies in class I probably would've made it through highschool without trying to off myself cause I was so scared about being trans in a shitty small town so 🤷🏽‍♂️ pop off being disgusting ig

Dunning-Kruger poster girl = double shot nut job

Credlin is a right wing Murdoch hack

Or could it be because we have the 2nd most unequal education system in the world? auspol

Go home, Peta. You’re drunk.

Spot on Peta my little one is being forced to do 4 Unit Meths and Gret Drawing as an outdoor elective, bring back Home Studies and Introduction to Clutch Starting I say!

17thOps Does UK Pearson Press, and their subsidiaries, have a monopoly on Australian Academic textbooks as well?

She's dead right, educate don't indoctrinate!

16th and 29th out of 195 countries is not So Low. If it was 116 and 129 then yeah

Could be worse. Saudi public school religious curriculum continues to propagate an ideology of hate toward the 'unbeliever' and is taught worldwide. Critics call it 'medieval' and it maintains the rule of absolute monarchy and that Islam is at war with other faiths and cultures'.

Oh right! ignore the needs based funding the LNP ripped from all the public schools 👌👌👌👌👌🐒

The liberals can’t be trusted. 7 years and we going backward

Wrong again Pete Credlin, these are ignorant stereotype statements and does nothing to help solve our education system😐What about poor public education funding? Lack of support teachers and increasing student numbers due to school closures😥🤨😐

😂😂😂 Peta Credlin says 😂😂😂

I hope they don't pay you for that drivel

Drop the religion studies too

The whole Nation is a disgrace, every day is more failure of Leadership.

I 10000% Agreed with you

It's sad this is the conclusion you came to.

Maths is the particular problem- students advance despite having failed at their respective Stages. This is why students in a year 12 are 3.5 yrs behind. They shouldn’t be allowed to advance to higher stages if they’ve failed, yet this is the current case.

Brought you you by the IPA.🙄

Certainly worth watching. An eye opener where our education is heading. The sticky fingers of the UN no surprise there.

What a stupid comment

No Dumby it’s because this joke of a Government have taken teachers away from teaching and turned them into baby sitter! Dealing more with social and emotional issues instead of core teaching programs

Mad wagon

Or the stats are revealing how bad an idea lowering uni requirements for teaching courses to keep the intake numbers up. Lower standards lead to poorer results and it hurts the education system and fails the children of this nation.

Has Peta actually looked at the curriculum or even visited a school to speak to teacher?

A lot of your hosts say a lot of contentious things which prevents you from being described as a credible and objective news platform. What a lineup of objectionable people you have hosting programs.

How true.

This show is the cable news equivalent of a ranting middle aged mom posting on Facebook about the world leaving them behind.

Show me a sample curriculum to back up that claim. fullofshit

No basics taught - years behind Asian students - teacher direction replaced by student enquiry - virtue signaling 'subjects' - 40% of students are ill-disciplined - majority of teachers not competent - money thrown at it won't help

Exactly!!!!!!

she would know of course , its the ignorant like her that really are the nations problem, so what she has degrees in constitutional law ,meaningless dribble if what she does is a biased media outlet for LNP propaganda

ClimateRealists She’s right. ClimateHysteria is a huge Ponzi scheme and dangerous distraction. IvarGiaever is right: More: .& Postmodernism derails & destroys many lives. cc ScottAdamsSays 4your meme set mountains, FYI.

Parents need to step up as 90% if education comes from.home. if our kids can't read, spell or add up life will be very difficult for them. Help our good kids who want to learn and stop lumping kids together. Bring back single desks and encourage individual achievement.

Nailed it.

ClimateRealists Shoe me a sample curriculum to back up that claim. fullofshit

nickbarnesaus They have young people frightened to get out of bed

Kids going on climate activism protests during class hours needs to be stopped.

Peta Credlin Now, there's a name synonymous with egalitarian humanitarianism! (Sky News will be quoting Santa Claus and the Tooth Factory next !!)

FFS. Always look for an excuse for the government.

How would she know what schools are teaching? She doesn’t have any kids! My kids are learning about the environment as part of science and have no idea what gender studies! factcheck

If teachers taught and not be activists encouraging strike action results would improve. Money is not the answer effort is. Before committing extra $$ surely we must ensure current expenditure is being well spent. Credlin JaneCaro deemadigan

Well said Peta. Remove the pedophile brainwashing agenda and start teaching kids the right way.

With teaching ranks at 80% female in primary schools zero will be changing soon. Churning out generations of dysfunction.

Really? Nothing to do with teachers being underpaid and under resourced? Nothing to do with schools not having enough money to operate correctly? Nothing to do with NAPLAN putting on undue stress on the students? No? Oh okay then

Yeah, I'm sure that's what's causing it.......
