Description
Testing 3, 2, 1 is the story of how Australian education fell behind the world's best and how Finland came to lead. It is also a guide to how some of Finland's ideas can be used by teachers and schools to begin to reverse the current malaise of Australia's education system.
Part memoir, part investigative journalism, part call-to-action, this easy-to-read and highly compelling plea for an improved education system can't be ignored ... Lawrence reminds us that we can (and must) do better.
