Education

 

In brief:

·        Back to basics — reading, writing, science and math

·        Get ideology out of the classroom

·        Smaller classes and teachers empowered to discipline

·        A full review of the curriculum

 

Education standards have declined significantly over the past 20 years, and that is just not acceptable.

One Nation believes in an education system that prepares our children for the real world.

We are concerned the state curriculum places too much emphasis on feelings and not enough on facts. We believe in an education system that teaches critical thought, and the ability to keep learning throughout life by concentrating on writing, reading and mathematics, with a strong focus on avoiding ideological indoctrination.

We also believe in reducing class sizes, and empowering teachers to discipline disruptive students. We will also support a comprehensive review of the curriculum to ensure the correct focus is restored in our schools.
