EduTECH and The Smith Family Join Forces to Empower Students Experiencing Disadvantage

EduTECH Australia < 1 mins read

EduTECH, Australia's largest festival of education, joins forces with The Smith Family to champion educational equality.

"EduTECH is proud to support The Smith Family," said Arron Penman, Project Director at EduTECH. "Together, we are dedicated to driving positive change in the education sector and empowering students from disadvantaged backgrounds."

The Smith Family has long been recognised for its work with children and young people impacted by poverty, supporting their education and empowering them to create their own futures. By providing essential resources, access to support programs, opportunities, and personal support, The Smith Family has made a tangible difference in the lives of thousands of students across Australia.

"Our work over many years has shown that stepping in with the right support at the right time increases the likelihood of a young person staying at school, completing Year 12 and going on to further study or work," The Smith Family's CEO Doug Taylor said.

"We're thrilled to work with EduTECH to give even more students the opportunity to make the most of their education."

Through this collaboration, EduTECH and The Smith Family are working hand in hand to develop initiatives focused on teaching, technology integration, and community engagement, all geared toward overcoming educational inequality.

Together, we invite everyone to join us on our mission to unlock the potential of children in need. Every contribution counts in making a difference, one student at a time.

Council of Capital City Lord Mayors highlight economic loss to Australia’s largest cities from international student caps

The Lord Mayors of Australia’s largest capital cities have expressed concern over unintended consequences of the Federal Government's proposal to introduce a cap on international students. International students contribute significantly to the Australian economy. Our capital cities, as the primary hubs for these students, benefit directly through increased demand for retail, transportation, and other services, contributing to job creation and economic vibrancy. The presence of international students enriches the cultural fabric of our cities, fostering a globally connected and inclusive society. “In the 22-23 financial year, International students generated $36.4 billion[1] in activity across Australia. A cap on international student…

Edith Cowan University council resignations raise serious questions

The National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) has demanded Edith Cowan University give a full explanation of a raft of resignations from the university council. It was reported this week that four members of the council had quit. The resignations came after the governing body elected a new chancellor while student elections were taking place and there were no student representatives on the council. NTEU WA Division Secretary Dr Cathy Moore said: “A new chancellor should never have been appointed while student voices weren’t represented on the council due to them not being eligible to vote at the time. “I am…
