Education: It’s the foundation of our culture and civilisation. By forming the minds and hearts of our children, we determine whether our future will be governed by the pursuit of the true and good, or the rule of relativism and the whims of public opinion.

Australian education is at a crisis. Here’s the problem: the National Curriculum.

From Foundation to Year 10, the Humanities and Social Sciences Curriculum carries undertones of Critical Race Theory, preoccupation with group identities, a reframing of Western Civilisation through the lens of guilt, and a reduced academic rigour, where social sensitivity is given primacy over critical thinking.

Promoting your values

The Institute of Public Affairs has been promoting the values and institutions of Western Civilisation since the Foundations of Western Civilisation Program commenced in 2011. Today it is now especially important with the proposal of the radical new National Curriculum; a growing number of people are deeply concerned about what the next generation of Australian children will be taught.

But there is hope! Class Action is a new education program calling all teachers, parents and concerned Australians who value the future of Australia to rebuild education for our children, and by doing so, contribute to a flourishing future of Australian society that knows its roots, and can humbly acknowledge its imperfections without erasing its proud achievements.
