A right to an education is a human right, but what does this mean for you or for your child? Anti-Discrimination legislation sets the standards that are expected in society. These standards are that everyone deserves access to the same opportunities, and deserves to be treated fairly. Knowing your rights or the rights of your child and the responsibilities of education providers is important. It can help you to decide if something is wrong and who is accountable for this. It can make a positive difference to the education that is received. If you or your child are experiencing discriminatory barriers to education, report it.
