WA Teachers Union Endorses One Nation Education Policy

The State School Teachers Union of WA has endorsed part of One Nation WA's education policy, specifically supporting the party's position on class sizes.

One Nation WA is a grassroots political party that actually talks to our teachers because we are parents as well, and we know that class sizes are a huge problem.

It is plain common sense that smaller class sizes result in better educational outcomes for our children, because when there are less children in each class, a teacher can spend more time focusing on individual students.

But One Nation also understands there are other big issues for teachers which have not been raised by the teachers union. 

Teachers tell us they are no longer allowed to discipline children, that they are forced to push ideological ideas that they do not agree with and that they are swamped with pointless admin and reporting work by the education department. These issues are also contributing to teachers wanting to leave the profession.

One Nation WA believes that a child's education is the most important thing the state can provide for them, kids who command reading, writing, maths and critical thought are more likely to become valued contributing members of our community whereas a poor education with no discipline or boundaries leads to social decay.

We applaud the State School Teachers union for standing up to WA Labor who have ignored their concerns for over 7 years.

School teachers in this state should consider voting for One Nation WA, we have the guts to say what you are thinking.
