Next Wednesday (March 31st) at 12.30pm, the NEZI primary teachers’ union is holding a rally at Parliament to present its petition opposing the government’s imposition of “national standards”.
The government’s proposal means essentially exams for children as young as five, on a narrow range of subjects, to the detriment of their broader education and development. More info is available at:

The teachers are at the forefront of the union opposition to this government.
Come along and give them your support!
