In a deepening cost of living crisis, more and more families are being hit hard by out-of-pocket school expenses.
Persistent underfunding of the public school system is penalising teachers, parents and carers and wrecking the futures of millions of students.
Only 1.3% of public schools receive the minimum funding they need from governments. Meanwhile, governments are overfunding 98% of private schools.
It doesn’t make sense.
Call the federal Education Minister Jason Clare today to demand full funding for every public school at the start of the next national schools agreement in January 2025.
