AUSTRALIAN VALUES This is an Australian values question — In the real test, every values question must be correct.
A newly arrived family ask what a 'fair go' will mean for their children's future. What is the best answer?
- Everyone, whatever their background, gets an equal opportunity ✓
- Children of new arrivals are given jobs ahead of others
- Success is decided by the school a child happens to attend
- Everyone will receive the same income once they finish school
Why this is the answer
A 'fair go' promises an equal chance to succeed, not an equal result handed to everyone.
This question is from: Equality of opportunity and a ‘fair go’
