Wow. At least they were not accidentally taught about Cesar Romero instead of Julius Caesar. That would have been complete chaos!
Great Caesar’s ghost!
I can get a few Caesars on the phone - with a side of wings.
Looks like somebody crossed the Rubicon of mistakes.

They should find out who made the mistake and caesar.
Salad dressing dude ping!
A rather “limited” topic there!
Just ONE of the several very influential Caesar’s is “allowed to be tested upon”????
But, you see, there is a reason that I hold most teachers incompetent: The teachers - given a single limited person as a history topic FOR AN ENTIRE COURSE! - re-used the their single limited previous course notes for the new requirement.
And di not notice the difference.
Their administrators did not audit the course, did not notice the requirement nor the course were different!

The teachers that taught this history incorrectly are not knowledgeable of history. Otherwise they would have caught the error in the curriculum. Actually I am trying to say they are idiots.

“The Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority said it had told the state’s 180 high schools two years ago that the ancient history exam topic would change to Julius Caesar in 2025. The topic had been Augustus Caesar for the previous four years.”
It depends what the mean by “had told”
Was this a one line change buried in dozens or hundreds of pages of documentation.
Could be worse. It might have been about Caligula Caesar.
I’m just glad high-schoolers somewhere are even studying ancient history.
Seniors?? Hearing about (either) Caesar for the first time?
Teaching to the test days before it is to be taken?
I gather the school system is clueless as to how damning this story is. Incapable of embarrassment.
The level of ignorance required to confuse those two Roman leaders is pretty epic.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm..... It seems that nine high schools in northeastern Australia didn't get (or read) the memo.
Pizza! Pizza!
We even read Julius Caesar in the original language.
How can you teach one without at least passing coverage of the other?
“Studying the wrong Caesar gets high school seniors out of a history exam”
Doesn’t matter. In 50 years their new conquerers (today called ‘refugees’) will get rid of ALL studies involving Western societies.
