flag The Tuckwell Scholarship favors wealthy private school students, exposing inequities in Australia’s education system.

flag The Tuckwell Scholarship, intended as a merit-based award, has exposed deep inequities in Australia’s education system, with data showing most recipients come from wealthy, private school backgrounds despite public school students making up over 60% of the population. flag Over 60% of recent scholars attended elite private schools, and most are from the highest socio-economic quartile, highlighting how privilege, not just achievement, influences access. flag Public school students, often underfunded and facing systemic challenges, struggle to compete. flag The scholarship’s current model reinforces existing disparities rather than addressing them, prompting calls for reform to prioritize equity and opportunity for disadvantaged students.
