The education landscape in Australia is constantly shifting and this year was no different. NAPLAN went online, mobile phones were banned in all public Victorian schools and the way in which teachers assess and report on student achievement was under the microscope.

But the perennial issues remained and were reported on frequently. Why are our students' scores slipping internationally? What is the best way to teach reading? And are our teachers teaching the 'right' things for the jobs of the future?

These stories and more are covered in our year in review. I'm Wade Zaglas, the education editor for Education Review, and I look forward to bringing you more stories that matter to you next year.
