Imagine being punished for being unable to understand your teacher or ask for help. Would that feel fair?
This isn't good enough. It's time to make school fair for all children! Sign our petition today >> bit.ly/4izwPzg

The interim curriculum review is a downright scandal.
Why promise to embed vital speaking skills into the curriculum, then fail to make good at such a critical opportunity?
The futures of our nation's children hang in the balance. Govt. must fix this!
