Policy Brief: Shaping an oracy education that benefits all children and young people

Good quality oracy education supports students’ learning and achievement, but access to these benefits is limited. This brief offers principles for a socially just oracy education that ensures all children and young people develop as effective communicators, hone their skills in critical thinking, and strengthen their sense of themselves as valued members of schools and society. The new national oracy framework provides an opportunity to embed this approach and improve outcomes for all.
