State High students weren’t the first to learn wrong history exam topic
Revelations that students at a top Queensland high school had been learning the wrong topic for their year 12 ancient history exams came after the same issue emerged at another Brisbane school. This masthead was first to report on Tuesday that Brisbane State High had been incorrectly teaching two classes of ancient history students a unit on the emperor Augustus instead of Julius Caesar. It can now be revealed that the same mistake occurred at Rochedale State High School, with the incorrect content being taught for a few weeks before the issue was discovered, and a parent flagging the issue with the education department in August. Despite the earlier warning to the department, students at Brisbane State High School did not realise they were also learning the wrong content until just two days before they were due to sit their external exam on Wednesday.
