Policy Problems that Governance does not want to face

“Year 12 students at eight schools were taught the wrong topic for final exams, as authorities rush to check whether even more pupils have been impacted by the bungle.”

 

 

In Queensland, October 29, 2025
Whatever operational bundle emerges, there is still the policy problem behind that governance does not want to face.

 

 

Governance has produced ever increasing narrow-focus humanities curriculum, the narrowing of cognitive themes and subject topics within an overcrowded curriculum program, and cyclically ignores, after a short period of state mourning and public moaning. And the spiral begins again, and things get worse. And governance just puts its head in the sand until next time.

 

 

The point is also that even, in the last five years, I have demonstrated my employability to address these policy problems which regulate the operational issues, I am simply ignored by the decision-makers, not by the concerned public.

 

 

As a small example of what I am talking about:

 

 

29 October 2020:

 

After a family lunch event, I came back to the office (home) and found on Facebook comparative numbers from 5 years ago on the academia.edu platform. So, I posted, with the numbers today, and said, “Compared these numbers from 5 years ago to now, and yet I am the one without a paid job. Explain that to me. Here are the numbers right now.”
29 October 2025

 

 

 

 

So, will governments learn their history lessons, even from the Roman emperors. Or do persons not care?
