Education Future Fund will aim to address underfunding of public schools by hiring more teachers and making intensive tutoring program permanent
Labor opposition says it will establish a $400m education fund, including a new intensive literacy and numeracy tutoring program in public schools.
The $400m program would be used to hire more teachers, school counsellors and establish the tutoring program, which would run in primary and high schools, but have an initial focus on the 2023 Year 10 cohort. The opposition also claims its school funding would also reach 100% of the SRS “during the life of the next national school reform agreement”.
