I believe that an integrated education system must be put in place over the next decade, and that teaching professionals should be given fairer treatment by our executive than the real terms pay cuts that many teachers have faced over the last decade, including this year’s offer of a 0% “pay rise” which forced many teachers to go on strike.
A country which fails to value its teachers, fails to value its future. Without a strong education system, we cannot have a strong and sustainable future economy.
I believe in the promotion of STEAM subjects from primary school level; ensuring our teachers have the skills to deliver world class science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics education.
