UNITED STAND FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL FUNDING

This week we made history. On the lawns of Parliament House in Canberra we were joined by State Education Ministers from Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, and the Australian Capital Territory, as well as Public Education Association leaders, public school principals, teachers, parents and students, all coming together to fight for full funding of public schools.

This joining of forces is a momentous milestone in the For Every Child campaign and signals the clear significance and urgency of delivering the full 100% of the Schooling Resource Standard. This investment is vital to address inequality in student outcomes, and support the high-quality teaching workforce that gives so much to public education every day. 

It also marked the launch of a book of stories from the field – submissions we’ve received from teachers, students and community members sharing their experiences of public education and vision for a fully funded sector. 

We're delivering a copy of the book to all Federal Parliamentarians, so that they can hear about the impact of school funding from the people it affects most.

Time is quickly running out to lock in new school funding agreements that don't leave public schools underfunded for another decade. 

We won’t rest until every public school is fully funded, for every child.
