I agree educational provision should not be in the hands of politicians and needs longer term planning based on research findings in the interests of children and young people and the economy generally.

Dear Guest

I appreciate you taking the time to comment on the campaign. It means a great deal for the future of our young people that education is in safe hands and that the people who make strategic decisions are fully competent to do so. Unfortunately, over the last few decades, successive political parties have made poor decisions that are now threatening to change the shape of education in ways that will not secure lasting benefits for our children and may even damage the state system of education.

Thank you for supporting this campaign. You may be assured that the people working to promote the changes called for, will do all they can to introduce transparency and accountability into education governance.
