Why this matters: Education choices influence opportunity, fairness, cost, learning quality and readiness for work and citizenship. The debate: For group assignments, should people prioritise assessing teamwork as a core skill, or grading students mainly on individual contribution? Join the discussion: Share a real example, explain the conditions behind your view, respond respectfully to another perspective and say what evidence could change your mind.
