This World Teachers' Day marks 60 years of protecting the profession, advancing its status and shaping our futures. For Professor Biesta, championing teachers means recognising them as professionals with the freedom, judgement and agency to shape education itself.

In anticipation of his keynote at UNESCO in Paris, we’re looking back at his conversation on Talking Teaching with Dr Sophie Specjal on the Purpose of Education.

Congratulations and thank you to Professor Kwong Lee Dow for a remarkable 60 years of service to #UniMelb

Across six decades, Professor Lee Dow has shown extraordinary leadership to the university, Faculty of Education and beyond.

It is only fitting that he is the namesake of a building where future teachers and educators learn and study, and the University’s Kwong Lee Dow Young Scholars program—a two-year academic and enrichment program for talented high school students from across Victoria.

Thank you Professor Kwong Lee Dow for your deep care, generosity of knowledge and continuous contributions to education on all fronts 💙 by @eduunimelb
