ACSSO MEDIA RELEASE – 14-11-11:

Act Now for Public Education

ACSSO logoTuesday 15 November 2011, parents, teachers and principals will participate in a National Day of Action in support of fairer funding to Public Education.

Speaking on the eve of the Day of Action, Peter Garrigan, President of the Australian Council of State School Organisations, stated, “We are calling on all public school communities to send a clear message to the Gonski Review Panel and the Federal Government that the current model of funding is inequitable and needs urgent overhaul.”

“This is the first time in 30 years that the funding to education has had such an in-depth review and as school communities we need to ensure that our message is clear. Public Schools educate nearly 70% of all young Australians. Public Schools educate the majority of students with disabilities. Public Schools educate the majority of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. Public Schools are inclusive of all.”
