Principals ready for major change to school system

From Morning Report, 8:40 am on 26 February 2019

Principals seem to be warming to a proposed overhaul of the school system but warn it will be a waste of time without political consensus. The Tomorrow's School Review taskforce is holding public consultation meetings around the country to discuss proposals such as setting up hubs to help schools and take over a lot of the jobs that boards of trustees do. Principals who have been to the gatherings say they still have doubts about some of the ideas, but they are ready for change.
