Public education for our future

Date: 11 November 2008

Australia's public schools are among the best in the world. They deliver high quality education to millions of students every day. Seventy per cent of the nation's children attend a public school, yet they receive only a third of Federal Government funding.

That is why the Australian Education Union has launched a new national campaign, 'Public Education For Our Future' .

The AEU is calling on teachers and parents to join together to get more federal funding for public schools.

The next three weeks are crucial

The AEU needs your support now to make sure the new National Education Agreement delivers more funds for public schools, including the development of new targeted programs to address issues of disadvantage and quality teaching.

Greater federal investment can provide the needs of our students: smaller class sizes, individual attention for those who need it, and modern buildings and facilities.
