Our public system, the inheritance of both our children and our democracy, is the victim of false advertising. Idealogues,con artists and spin doctors are controlling the future of our public systems.

The battle for public education - free, secular and universal - is being fought in Chile by teachers and students. They are winning. Their example is an inspiration for supporters of public education in Australia.

Chilean education suffered grievously under Pinochet’s market oriented policies The dictator imposed the market ideology on Chilean education. In the same way our Lib/Labor politicians have imposed the Thatcher/ Reagan market ideology on education in this country.
