UNLURKING

[Jenny and/or Chris <gaffcam@MIRA.NET>]

Dear all,
I hope you realise that New Zealand and the East Coast of Australia are now
seeing the 12th arrive.
I'm interested in knowing a little more of the education systems in other
countries. Since the Northern Hemisphere is banned :) for the moment on this
list, I'd like to know from other UNLURKERS whether their education systems
have national curriculums, state ones or whether the teacher can teach what
they like. What proportion of private and state schools are there in your
countries?
Are there different types of schools, like "progressive" ones? Are the
teachers well unionised? What is the student/teacher ratio? How are teacher
librarians regarded?
Thanks in anticipation.

Regards,
Jenny Campbell (Melbourne, Australia)
