NSWTF – Public Education Day

Today is national Public Education Day, a day we celebrate the critical role that public education has played in building our nation. We are proud of all that public education has achieved over many years.

It’s also a day where we need you to stand up, speak out and create change for public education.

We’re campaigning to give all children a fair-go and calling on politicians to:

• Reverse $1.9 billion cut from public schools & disability cuts in 2018 and 2019.
• Fund all schools at 100% of agreed schooling resource standard by 2023.
• Establish a public schools capital fund, starting with $300 million per year.
• Remove the Commonwealth 20% public school funding cap.
• This Public Education Day, Federation encourages your workplace to celebrate the local successes of needs-based funding and stand up, speak out and create change by showing support for the Fair Funding Now Campaign.

Our students only get one chance at an education. Help them reach their potential and register your support today for www.fairfundingnow.org.au

We cannot stay silent while millions of our students miss out on the additional attention and opportunities that could change their lives.

We need fair funding now!

So join us. Stand up. Speak out. Create change this Public Education Day.
