BTN returns with even more content designed to educate, inform and entertain young Australians.
BTN is the country’s premier news source for young Australians.
BTN Classroom and BTN Newsbreak offer a range of stories focussing on politics, civics and media literacy and giving young people a voice and a way to participate in democracy. 2025 will see Jack Evans take over hosting.
BTN High enters its third year, bringing award-winning news stories designed specifically for Australian high school students and teachers. Each week the team explores topical issues in engaging, age-appropriate format that is mapped to specific areas of the Australian curriculum.
Production credit: An ABC Original
Today’s Media Watch had a segment on an episode of BTN High from last week. The May 19 episode on school funding, titled Public vs Private Schools, was pulled off air after Independent Schools Association fired off a letter to the ABC, saying the broadcaster had allowed “a one-sided presentation of a contested political argument” to go to air. It was also reported in The Australian online last Thursday.
The Australian’s report
ABC deletes ‘one-sided, ideological’ story on school funding
The ABC also issued a small correction on its website last Friday.
BTN High is a current affairs program whose remit is to deliver news and current affairs to high school students, to help them increase their understanding of complex political, economic, environmental and social issues. A story about public and private school funding published on 19 May 2026 was produced with the aim of explaining the complexities and history of funding models, in a manner appropriate for a young audience.
The story lacked contextual information about the nature of funding for independent schools and inaccurately stated that private school fees are in the top five causes of bankruptcy in Australia. It also should have included additional perspectives on the issue. The story and associated educational resources have been removed.
