Review of Funding for Schools

The MYAN Submission to the Review of Funding for Schools (2011) highlights the critical importance of adequate English as a Second Language (ESL) support for refugee and newly arrived migrant youth. The submission addresses the challenges these students face in the Australian education system, such as limited English proficiency, disrupted schooling, and lack of targeted support for transitioning into mainstream education. MYAN advocates for a national framework to ensure consistent and adequate funding for ESL programs across Australia, as well as increased investment in transition programs and learning support initiatives to help these young people succeed in their education and integration into Australian society.
