“All children deserve the best education...This is not about who has more than the other. This is for ALL children no matter where you go to school...It's fair and it's right.”
The quote above is not from a politician. It’s from an ordinary person commenting on Facebook. The truth is, we all know that every child should have a great education, and we all know that every child should be taught by great teachers with great resources.
But at the moment, we live in a country where some kids go to schools that are less resourced than others, and some kids don't get the education they deserve. Yesterday’s announcement to properly resource all our classrooms, teachers and kids is a once in a generation chance to fix this.
We must succeed. And we need your help. You can do your bit to make sure Labor’s National Plan for School Improvement goes from plan to reality. You can help by signing this petition calling on State Premiers to sign up to the reforms.
Tell everyone you know that making every school a great school is the only option. Tell everyone you know that Tony Abbott’s plan to do nothing will mean generations of Australian children will fall behind.
PS: Listen to the Prime Minister Julia Gillard explain this plan in her own words in this passionate (unedited) interview with ABC Radio National's Fran Kelly this morning.
