A National Priority
Now more than ever, all levels of government must be held responsible for providing proper investment in public education to support excellence in teaching and learning for all and the achievement of positive student outcomes.
Public education is part of a great Australian tradition and success story. Our public schools offer all Australians the opportunity to strive for individual excellence to build a positive future for themselves, their families and the common good.
Free, secular and universally accessible public education has directly shaped Australia's past and present. Accepting all students regardless of cultural, religious, racial or economic background, geographical location or special needs, public education remains the key to a vibrant, socially-cohesive, multicultural, democratic Australia.
Governments must invest a greater share of our nation's resources in the most precious of all national assets - the public education of our children and fellow citizens. In doing, so our great public schools can be even greater.
The NSW Teachers Federation and other Australian Education Union branches and affilates are calling on the Federal Government to immediately commit to fund the public education national recurrent funding shortfall of $2.9 billion dollars necessary to meet the national resource standard as identified by the MCEETYA Schools Resource Taskforce.
