Anti-Poverty Week

Anti-Poverty Week is an Australia-wide initiative than began several years ago and continues to grow.

The AEU, along with a wide range of community and other organisations, is a strong supporter of anti-poverty week, which each year focuses on national and international poverty. We encourage all schools and teachers to become involved in key aspects of poverty in relation to education, particularly in this week.

The AEU needs to take a leadership role in this area as poverty directly affects out students' ability to engage with the education system.

Find out more about how you could participate in Anti-Poverty Week.

Anti-Poverty Week is 11 - 17 October, 2009. Why not do something with your class or in your school.
