Keep big business out of the curriculum: Greens
Multi-national corporations should not be writing lesson plans for Australian classrooms, says Australian Greens spokesperson for schools Senator Penny Wright.
Senator Wright said the Abbott Government's adoption of the US P-TECH model was a further step along the road to privatising public education.
"While the skills students are learning need to be relevant for 21st century jobs, our schools are not for sale - big business should not be writing the curriculum," Senator Wright said.
