Murray Print
Murray Print is a prominent advocate for civics education in Australia, emphasizing the urgent need for reforms in the New South Wales (NSW) education system. He has called for civics to be made a standalone subject and for teacher training programs to be funded to address significant knowledge gaps among students regarding democracy and legal systems. Print warns that these gaps pose threats to social cohesion and democratic participation, particularly in the context of rising antisemitism and misinformation spread through social media.
