After launching, the PLATO WA website quickly became one of the most widely read educational websites in Australia with more 180,000 hits per month and contained an archive of more than 10,000 articles on the subject of OBE implementation. The role of PLATO in leading public opinion against OBE was acknowledged in many academic papers on the subject.[1]

Background

PLATO was formed on 14 June 2004 by high school science teacher Marko Vojkavic[2] in response to the increased efforts of the state government to implement an Outcomes Based Education system in schools. In May 2006 retired Professor Steve Kessell stated that the teachers who opposed OBE where not a handful of troublemakers, but the overwhelming majority.[3] On 14 June 2006 they were involved in an anti-OBE rally at Parliament House.

Education Minister Ljiljanna Ravlich was a particular target of PLATO. Following her demotion in 2006, Western Australia's OBE curriculum was subjected to parliamentary inquiry. In 2008 it was officially abandoned by the state government with Minister for Education Mark McGowan remarking that the 1990s fad "to dispense with syllabus" was over.[4] That same year PLATO supported the approach of the proposed Australian National Curriculum.[5]

PLATO WA inspired a similar lobby group in Queensland called PLATO QLD.[6]
