The first in our new series of expert panels talking on the big issues on the government's agenda in education, health, employment and social affairs throughout 2010.

Already this year aspects of the federal government's Education Revolution have been attacked by the Australian Education Union.

The Union began the year by lashing out over government funding for private schools, and threatens to boycott national skills testing over its concerns with the MySchool website due to go live this week.

How will the government handle its education revolution as a federal election looms in 2010?
