Tomorrow is International Day of Education
Education should be inclusive. It should support every learner to belong, learn and thrive.
For people with Down syndrome, good education means being included. It means high expectations, the right supports and learning that continues across life.
Everyone deserves access to education that works for them.

In focus: Our Learn and Lead Group
The Learn and Lead Group brings together people with intellectual disability from across Australia.
It’s about building confidence, skills and leadership. It’s also about making sure lived experience shapes health care.
Members work alongside the National Centre of Excellence in Intellectual Disability Health
They share advice on strategy, events and resources. This helps improve health care and how people think about intellectual disability.
Members also build advocacy skills. They gain confidence in teamwork and public speaking.
Voices from the group
Tessa said:
“As a group we have learnt to build our confidence and skills.”
Greg shared:
“I am proud of the work as it will see cultural change in society.”
