Don't turn Aussie schools into US franchises, Mr Abbott
The Australian Greens have urged Prime Minister Abbott to keep big business out of public education, following reports the Coalition is looking to Americanise Australian schools.
Australian Greens spokesperson for schools Senator Penny Wright said corporations should not be dictating curriculum.
"Our public education system should provide a chance for every student to reach their potential, and no - we don't want fries with that," Senator Wright said.
