## Resource

A fiery debate is heating up in Canberra over a prestigious leadership program at a public high school, with one parent accusing it of creating an elite private-school vibe within a public institution. The program, packed with camps, guest speakers, and event planning, allegedly pulls teachers away from core classes and favors students who already have advantages—often from similar backgrounds, leaving Indigenous and other marginalized students behind. The parent, whose child is Indigenous, also highlighted basic inequities like inadequate facilities. An independent review echoed these concerns, revealing systemic gaps in support for First Nations and disabled students. In response, the ACT government is ditching school autonomy for a unified system to better allocate resources—and is actively seeking input from students and families to build a fairer, more efficient public education system.
