‘Cease and desist’: The top Sydney school taking on private coaching colleges
The principal at James Ruse Agricultural High is pushing for a crackdown on private coaching colleges, accusing them of taking top public schools’ assessments and exam papers without authorisation for use in tutoring centres.
In an email sent to 500 school principals, James Ruse’s Rachel Powell said she is working with the NSW Education Department to draft cease-and-desist letters to tutoring centres over concerns they are using the selective school’s resources, assessment tasks and trial exams.
The principal at James Ruse Agricultural High is pushing for coaching colleges to stop using public schools’ exams, assessments and materials in their centres.
Education officials say they are investigating the issue, and legal action may be considered if tutoring operators are using Education Department copyrighted materials, without permission, to promote their businesses.
The multimillion-dollar tutoring industry has grown significantly in the past 20 years, with some colleges claiming to have tutored hundreds of the state’s top-performing HSC students last year.
The former head of English at Sydney Boys High, Cassandra Pride, said it was common for public school teachers to see their own testing, assessment and content materials being handed out by coaching colleges.
“Teachers spend years developing the skills, knowledge and expertise to create these resources and produce resources specifically designed for their students. Tutoring centres have used writing stimuli, exam questions and assessment prompts that have been carefully and expertly created by selective schools,” Pride said.
