A Year 3 student has written an impassioned letter defending teachers in the Australian Capital Territory, following the government’s decision to scrap the "learning journeys" program. The initiative, which tracked student progress through detailed reports, has faced criticism from educators who argue it increased workload and reduced classroom time. The child’s letter highlights concerns over the impact on teaching quality and student well-being, adding a personal voice to the debate. With unions and parents also speaking out, the controversy raises questions about the balance between accountability and educational support.
