Fully funding public schools is essential to make Australia’s schooling system stronger and fairer – ensuring every child’s needs are met. As union members, we can’t tolerate a society where only 1.3% of public schools meet the Schooling Resource Standard, compared to 98% of private schools.

Today’s news of the WA and Federal governments signing the Better and Fairer Schools Agreement, after finalising funding arrangements, is a welcome step forward.
