Public Education Facts
In this section you can find all the information you need about the state of our schools, how they are funded and what our public schools need to meet the needs of all students.
You can also learn more about a vital review of school funding which is now underway. This is our chance to push for a better deal for public schools.
Schools Funding
We need to fix a school funding system that currently puts private schools first and fails to meet the needs of students in our public schools.
The State of Our Schools
Our public schools still don’t have the resources they need with class sizes still too high and widespread shortages of teachers, according to the AEU’s latest survey of principals.
What We Need
Investing more in our public schools is the only way to ensure that every child can fulfill their potential.
How Australia Compares
Australian students are up there with the best in the world but as far as resources for public schools and education go we are nowhere near the top.
“I have no doubt that the future of Australia … can only be assured with confidence through unswerving commitment to public education of the highest quality”
