- Australian Education Union Submission to the Department of Education Review of the
Australian Curriculum February 2014
International Women's Day celebrated on 8 March across the world is as much a rallying point for women's movements as for trade union movements.
This IWD, the AEU, as an affiliate of Education International (EI), joins EI in asserting that education is not only a public good and a human right, it enables the realisation of all other rights, and it empowers girls and women.
However, the right to education is denied to many because of a lack of political commitment, the under-financing of education and the impact of inequality. The intersection of gender with other social identities (such as ethnicity, religion, race, economic status, sexuality, or disability) often means that the most marginalised groups of girls or women are also least likely to have access to quality education.
The AEU supports EI's current global campaign, Unite for Quality Education, which aims to ensure that the provision of a quality education for all remains at the top of the agenda for a sustainable, peaceful and prosperous future by demanding that governments and policy-makers act to raise the quality of education, and guarantee that it is freely available and accessible to all.
