Ministerial Matters with Jason Clare

Jason Clare is the Federal Minister for Education - he has held the portfolio since 2022.

In this episode, Minister Clare responds to our questions on initial teacher education, his proudest achievements in the role so far, the challenges of funding – the cases of the Northern Territory and Western Australia, consulting the archives of research conducted by recognised teacher education associations and scholars – plus there is even a rant … well not really – maybe a blooper. Don’t miss it.
