"If you step into a newly built school these days, chances are you will see
classrooms that look very different to the classrooms most of us spent our
school years in as children.
On a recent visit to a new primary school in Melbourne, Grattan Institute’s
education team entered a large room that contained two classes, separated not
by a wall but a wide pillar that left room for teachers and students to move
between the two “classroom” spaces.
In the first space, students were leaning forward at their desks, concentrating
on their teacher. The room was very noisy. The teacher was only metres from her
students, but her voice was all but drowned out by the second “classroom” on
the other side.
This appears to be the trend in new classroom buildings around Australia."
