As home educators who belong to a christian distance school at present we are watching with cautious interest to see how the new Gillard government will pan out with it's 'huge reform agenda' / new education policy and the planned national curriculum due to come out next year.( http://www.alp.org.au/agenda/school-reform/national-curriculum/ and http://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au./Home )
Due to the elections being so close with our hung parliament, one hopes there would be enough pressure on Julia et al to not do anything too radical....there was talk about scrapping all 'Christian' Schools before elections. Here is some basic information on what is happening for the present and some commentary thereon.
