n Are you concerned that government changes mean that anyone can now teach, even without training or qualifications? n Do you think it is wrong to allow private companies to make a profit from your childs education? n Are you worried that the changes to the curriculum imposed by the Government could damage your childs education? n Are you worried about the rising cost of schooling, e.g. uniform, school meals? n Are you concerned about the impact of the break-up of the education system in your area? n Did you know that half of teachers want to leave the profession and fewer graduates want to become teachers? n Do you think that childrens education deserves better? Since 2010, the Government has embarked on massive changes to education. But the majority of these changes are not supported by parents, teachers or schools. Schools are on the brink of a major crisis that could undermine our childrens education for years to come. Teachers, parents and others have said: Enough is enough its time to rally for the education of our children and young people.

All welcome FREE to attend. Come and find out more!
