Public Education For Our Future

Want the Best Public Schools For Our Children?

Public schools have a vital role in ensuring every child gets a high quality education. But they are under-resourced. Teachers and parents are joining together to convince the Federal Government to invest more in our public schools.

The Federal Government is in discussions with the state and territory governments about the development of a new National Education Agreement. This agreement provides an opportunity for an increase in the general funding for government schools and the development of new targeted programs to address disadvantage and issues associated with quality teaching.

The Australian Education Union has launched a national campaign calling on parents and teachers to work together to get more Federal Government funding for public schools.
