The ANSR is committed to reforming Australia’s education system through a unified national curriculum, reformed assessment practices, and the revitalisation of skilled trades. Our aim is to produce capable, self-reliant Australians equipped for both civic life and national development.

National Curriculum

All schools — public, private, and independent — will operate under a single, mandatory national curriculum. Core subjects will include:

• English and Literature

• Mathematics and Logic

• Australian and World History

• Physical Education and Discipline

• Mental Wellbeing and Practical Health

• Life Skills (civics, finance, nutrition, self-defence)

• Critical Thinking and Rhetoric

Private institutions may add to the curriculum, but must not deviate from these core subjects. Compliance will be enforced through routine audits conducted by the Ministry of Education.

Assessment Reform

ANSR will eliminate the current reliance on standardised multiple-choice testing. In its place, a national examination will be introduced at the end of each school year, designed to evaluate:

• Comprehension

• Application of knowledge

• Reasoning and argument

• Written communication

Grading will reflect individual ability and effort rather than statistical models or rote memorisation. Integrity of results will be maintained through representative sampling and ministerial oversight.

Trades and Practical Pathways

The trades sector will be restored to its rightful place in national life. Trade schools will be reintegrated into the secondary education framework, offering early access to apprenticeships and practical training.

Skilled trades — including carpentry, mechanical work, metalwork, and agricultural technologies — will be promoted as respected career paths essential to Australia’s long-term independence and prosperity.

Balanced Excellence

By supporting both academic and vocational education, the ANSR will produce a generation of Australians who are not only literate and numerate, but also skilled, disciplined, and capable of building and defending a sovereign nation.

This education policy reflects our broader vision: a self-reliant Australia built by citizens who know who they are, what they stand for, and how to lead.

The ANSR is committed to cultivating a generation of physically strong, disciplined, and capable young Australians. Strength, resilience, and leadership are not optional traits in a sovereign nation — they are essential.

To embed these values into the national character, the Party will mandate the integration of outdoor education, structured adventure training, competitive sports, and leadership camps further into the school curriculum. These programs will be designed not merely for recreation, but for the cultivation of endurance, teamwork, discipline, and confidence.

Aligned with the ANSR Health Policy, every public school will be equipped with:

• A fully functioning gymnasium

• Access to certified nutritionists

• Supervised training facilities open before, during, and after school

These resources will be staffed by qualified personnel and available year-round to ensure that all students, regardless of background, have access to proper physical development and health support.

This policy reflects ANSR’s belief that education must go beyond academics. We aim to produce not only informed citizens — but physically competent, mentally resilient Australians, equipped to lead, defend, and contribute meaningfully to the Republic.

The Australian Nationalist Social Republic (ANSR) is committed to building a future-ready workforce by eliminating financial barriers to essential education. To this end, the Republic will fully forgive all outstanding HELP and HECS debt for Australians pursuing degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) — fields critical to national development, infrastructure, defence, and technological advancement.

This program is not universal, but earned. Eligibility will be based on academic aptitude, consistent performance, and demonstrated alignment with the Republic’s strategic priorities. Students must meet rigorous entry and retention standards to qualify for debt forgiveness, ensuring the State’s investment is directed toward the most capable and committed.

Higher education funding will be restructured to focus on the Republic’s eight key sectors — those industries vital to Australia’s long-term sovereignty, prosperity, and innovation. Courses outside these national priorities may remain accessible, but will not be subsidised under this initiative.

This policy reinforces ANSR’s principle that education is not a consumer product, but a national investment. Through merit-based support and targeted relief, we will cultivate a capable, loyal, and skilled class of professionals — equipped to lead Australia into a new era of self-reliance and excellence.

The Australian Nationalist Social Republic (ANSR) will mandate regular first-aid education across all primary and secondary school years within the Republic. Every student will graduate with essential life-saving skills and the ability to respond confidently in emergency situations.

This training will be delivered annually as part of the national curriculum, not as an elective — embedding first-aid knowledge as a civic duty, not a personal choice.

By equipping young Australians with these critical skills from an early age, the ANSR will foster a national culture of responsibility, self-reliance, and resilience. In a crisis, every citizen should be capable of acting — not hesitating.

No life should be lost due to inaction or ignorance. With this policy, help will always be near.
