This year Talkback Classroom explores the theme of Education in the 21st Century with a focus on Malaysia and Australia.
Emily and Duncan from Melbourne join Malaysian students Farhan and Devinia (Sunshine) on the first leg of a student investigation or Learning Journey in Malaysia in April and will meet with academics, government representatives and educators to ask questions about issues in education in Malaysia.
The visit to Malaysia will culminate with a student forum hosted by the Australian High Commission. The second leg of the Learning Journey takes place in June when the team is reunited in Australia to investigate education related issues from an Australian perspective as they prepare for a forum at the National Press Club of Australia.
To follow the student’s Learning Journey in Malaysia and Australia read their blog entries and visit the project Facebook page ‘Talkback Classroom – Australia Malaysia forum.
The Australia Malaysia forum is sponsored by the Australia-Malaysia Institute, The Asian Education Foundation and the Australian Education International.
