Australia's Business Council calls for education reforms to improve rankings and retention rates.

The Business Council of Australia (BCA) is calling for new education targets to boost standards and retention rates, aiming to return to the top 10 in OECD rankings for reading, science, and math. The BCA's CEO, Bran Black, highlights the need for early intervention in primary schools and the placement of careers counselors in every secondary school to help students prepare for future job opportunities. This comes as Australia's education performance has dropped since 2006, with year 12 retention rates at their lowest in 12 years.
