SA: Rally for Gonski this Saturday – Parliament House Adelaide


The Gonski Review found Australia is investing far too little in schools, and that we need an urgent overhaul of the way schools are resourced.

These reforms are needed to fix a system that is broken – too many students are falling behind.

Gonski would provide an excellent education to every Australian child, regardless of their background, postcode or family income.

The Gonski recommendations would help tackle the decline in student performance overall and address the widening gap between students doing well and those who are struggling.

Our children will need a high-quality education to gain the skills and knowledge required to secure jobs in an increasingly competitive, educated global market.

This Saturday all around the country rallies will be held to send our politicians the message that we support the Gonski education reforms. Maxine Winkely speaks to Australian Education Union SA Branch Vice President Jan Murphy.
