Tom Bentley, Deputy Chief of Staff to Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, explains that educational achievement has gone global with everyone focusing on the same set of high expectations. At the same time those needs are becoming more diverse to respond to individual needs and social groups. He believes we need to use transparency to bring out the reality of what is happening and to show who is benefiting and who is not benefiting. He also believes we need to achieve empowerment by putting resources into people's hands.
