Equity in education starts with language👏🏽
The Queensland Multicultural Service Sector Executive Network, which ECCQ proudly chairs, with representatives from over 30 multicultural service providers, presented our latest policy paper today to the Hon. John Paul Langbroek MP and the Hon. Fiona Simpson MP, in their capacity as Minister for Education and Minister for Multiculturalism, respectively.
We called for more strategic and accountable English as a Second Language (ESL)/ English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EALD) programs to effectively empower migrant & refugee students across Queensland.
We thank the Ministers and their senior departmental staff, including Director Generals, for their time and their willingness to be a part of these ongoing, solution-focused discussions.
