The Government is trying to create a crisis in education and impose a business model on our world class schools. This model, known as the GERM (Global Education Reform Movement) has infected other countries by introducing standardisation, competition and test-based accountability.
But we have the antidote!
It’s all of us fighting to protect a quality public education system which is fair and equitable, based on collaboration and trust and where every child’s learning needs are met.
| The Germ | The Antidote |
| Standardisation | Personalised Learning |
| Choice | Equity |
| Competition | Collaboration |
| Data-Based Accountability | Trust And Professionalism |
