Gronski Review: Have your say!

Last night I recieved this eMail from the AEU. Have no fear, it's not about Union matters!

If you think public schools like ours in Victoria are worth investing more in, take action on Tuesday November 15 (tomorrow).

Join in the National Day of Action for Public Education and send a message to the federal funding review about what a difference more funding would make. Your message will go to the head of the funding review, Mr David Gonski, Education Minister Peter Garrett and your local federal MP.

It is your last chance to have your say before the funding review finishes next month.

Send your message now.

It will only take a few minutes.

With parents, principals and teachers around the country all acting tomorrow (November 15) it will send a powerful message about the need for change. Remember public schools teach two thirds of students but under the current system they only get one third of the funding.

The Gonski Review, which is the most comprehensive review in over 30 years, is our best chance to change this inequitable situation.

You can learn more about the National Day of Action and the campaign for better funding at www.forourfuture.org.au.

If you have a few minutes today, please go and look. If you agree? Either send the form letter they offer or make something more personal. There's a high likelyhood it won't get read since they will probably get a flood of them but you never know!
