I always had the highest respect for our teachers because teachers are engineers. Teachers are builders of the foundation of our country's future prosperity. Teaching quality directly determines the quality of education our kids receive. This is why the findings from the literacy and numeracy exam trialled by the federal government are alarming. I welcome the fact that the government is embracing research and innovation, and I urge the government to look into how our teaching quality can be improved as well as how our teaching can be innovative not only in what we teach but also in how we teach.

Question agreed to.
