A parent of a former student is concerned a Canberra high school leadership program is pulling teachers away from classrooms and entrenching inequity into a government school.
The parent describes Alfred Deakin High School's Panthers and Elements program as "private schooling" for a select few students.
At the same time, an independent review into the ACT's school system has found there is not enough support for students who need it most and has recommended the government call time on individual school autonomy.
