Great news on school funding.
The Federal Government has finally agreed to act on the recommendations of the Gonski Review.
It has committed to changing the way schools are funded and increasing the resources for education and public schools.
The decision on Monday came after people around the country like you spoke up and joined the I give a Gonski campaign.
Here is a campaign update if you would like to read more about the Federal Government’s announcement.
We still have a long way to go though.
The Federal Government is now negotiating with state and territory leaders to see how much of the extra funding they will provide and over what time period.
There is no guarantee they will all come onboard.
That is why we must keep the pressure up.
Please help by emailing your state premier or territory chief minister to let them know how important it is that they act on school funding.
It will only take a minute to send the email via our website but it will make a difference.
The financial support of all state and territory leaders is vital if we are to ensure our children’s schools get additional resources.
Thank you,
The I Give a Gonski team
