Reward Teachers for Better Educational Outcomes

Unfortunately, we cannot simply throw money at all of our problems, as we have learned the hard way in the Australian education system. Australia's school funding surpasses that of many countries ($20,000 on every student every year). Yet, our educational outcomes continue to lag.
We have been spending more money only to get worse outcomes. Why?
This video offers a solution. Instead of merely allocating more funding to struggling schools we should make better use of our most valuable educational resource: teachers.
The best way to bridge the achievement gap is by deploying quality teachers to where they are needed most and then paying them more.
Successful international examples show how strategic deployment of top teachers can lead to remarkable improvements in underperforming schools. It is time we focused on funding effective teachers not merely broadly funding schools.

The Australian Libertarian Party's policy of a Decentralised Education is the best answer. Allowing schools to opt out of the National Curriculum & funding students (not schools) creates a competitive market economy between schools - it incentivises schools to compete for students (to compete for students' funding) by reflecting the objectives of students and parents. If a school does well, offers an education environment and outcome that students and parents like, then they will attract more students and the funding that comes with them. If a school doesn't do well, offering an education environment and outcomes that students and parents dislike (e.g. a heavily woke curriculum), then they will lose students and lose the funding that goes with them. This approach incentivises and frees schools to improve and to reflect their school community; this approach discourages ideologically driven indoctrination and compels schools to improve or risk closure.

The trouble with CIS' output has always been picking the useful ideas and information out of the culture war crap that they insist on wrapping everything up in. I always feel dirty after watching their videos or reading their publications. Why is that?

Better yet sack the teachers who are crap

[@dennismenace4188]

I've got a better idea: sack teaches who don't produce better outcomes.
