Since 2016, teachers from over 150 schools have brought to life the Fair Education program. In the program, teachers work together to improve family and community engagement in student learning.

At Darling Heights State School, teachers are using adult English classes to connect with families and ensure children can reach their full potential. Watch their project in action in our latest video.

ABOUT SCHOOLS PLUS

Schools Plus is a national not-for-profit that helps children facing disadvantage succeed at school. Our purpose is to help close the education gap. We do this by empowering teachers in disadvantaged communities with funding, coaching and resources to create lasting change in their schools and beyond. Through our Fair Education program, Schools Plus works with teachers and school leaders over three years, to build their capacity to better engage families and communities in children’s learning.
