many subject areas in this web site and in the sites of the state

major campaigns the Union is currently working on at a national or international
level.

- Public Education For Our
Future
The Public Education For Our Future campaign is all about teachers
and parents joining together to make a difference.
Working together we can convince the politicians that their top priority
should be investing more in our public schools and our children.
Now more than ever we need strong, well-resourced public schools to
ensure all children get the best education and fulfill their potential.
Investing in public schools is also the key to a stronger economy,
a more skilled workforce and a prosperous and socially cohesive society.
- Stop League Tables
League tables which rank schools based on raw test scores are bad
for students, schools and education.
Naming and shaming schools that don't get high marks in the tests
is devastating for those school communities and makes it much harder
for students and teachers.
Newspapers in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and the Northern Territory
have published damaging league tables using data from the My School
website. Only by working together can we convince the Federal Government
to take action on this important issue.
- Global
Action Week 2011 The Big Story: Women and Girls' Education
In 2011 the Global Campaign for Education is calling upon teachers
and schools world-wide to encourage their governments to invest and
commit to equity by ensuring that women and girls have an equal chance
at education.
