I do not disagree with the Member. In terms of the ability to effect real change in society, education is the biggest driver that will help with those outcomes. So many people passionately believe in education because it is often the way in which someone can work their way out of challenging circumstances. Many issues will influence and impact on the outcomes of young people, but a good education is a fundamental human right. That is why we have embarked on the changes to our education system.
