Target: NSW State Education minister

Region: Australia

Petition Closed

Result:

Thanks to everyone who signed and supported the campaign.

Background (Preamble):

Department of Education, NSW is closing down many "Support Classes" within the State schools, which are for Children with Autism, language disorder, etc...

Children who could not get into one of these "Support Class" due to very limited availabilities, are force into mainstream classes with no adequate support within the mainstream class.

Many of these children finish school without reaching their full potentials.

Let's do something about it!!
