THE AEU’S TOP PRIORITIES FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION

A fairer federal funding system: 
We need a Federal Government that will put public schools first again.

Greater investment in our teachers: 
It’s time to tackle teacher shortages and invest more in training and professional development.

Smaller class sizes: 
We need to reduce class sizes and ensure all children get the individual attention they need.

Modern buildings and facilities: 
It’s vital that the upgrade of primary and secondary schools continues.

SCHOOL FUNDING PRINCIPLES

Equity – true equity can only exist when government schools set the standard for high quality education.

Role and Responsibility of Governments – the primary obligation of governments is to properly and adequately fund public schools (using a transparent, equitable funding model).

A Guarantee for all Families – every family deserves access to a well resourced, high quality public school in their community.
