The LEA (LE Academy) Tuition Program was founded by UWA students in the hopes of providing high school students with fundamental understandings of maths and English.
The government funded 2010 Gonski review exposed harsh truths about the Australian education system: overall academic performance is declining, whilst there exists a significant gap between the highest and lowest performing students, with an especially damning correlation between performance and parentâ??s socioeconomic background.
