Schools in Western Victoria will share in more than $5.6 million of extra funding in 2016
as part of the Andrews Government’s plan to make Victoria the Education State.
It’s all part of our plan to help kids learn, give parents confidence and provide the
resources that teachers need. Under the plan, every single student in every single government School will be better off.
The 2015/16 Victorian Budget was the single biggest injection of education funding in Victorian history by providing almost $4 billion in additional funding to education.
We are building and upgrading schools and helping families with the costs of uniforms, glasses, camps, excursions and more.
Our Budget built the foundations of the Education State, but the next step is all about
helping our kids learn, giving parents confidence, and giving teachers the resources and skills they need to do what they do best.
The extra support being provided to teachers and principals will be accompanied by a new emphasis on collaboration and accountability, including a set of statewide targets that will help focus on students.
We want to see more students reaching the highest levels of reading, maths and science. At the same time, we want our schools to give students the skills they need for work and life: confidence, resilience, and the capacity for critical and creative thinking. We also want more kids to take part in physical activity at school.
This is also about breaking the link between a child’s social and economic background and how well they do at school.
Our aim is to significantly reduce the number of kids who drop out of school and training every year.
The additional funding to schools is on top of funds already provided for enrolment growth, indexation and the everyday costs of running a school.
Quotes attributable to Member for Western Victoria, Gayle Tierney
“The Andrews Labor Government believes in giving kids across South-West Victoria the
very best start in life. That’s why we are giving local schools the funds they need to make Victoria the Education State.”
“Whether it’s funding to improve attainment or reduce drop-out rates, this historic investment will give students the skills they need for the job they want.”
Quotes attributable to Minister for Education, James Merlino
“Over the last few months, thousands of Victorians told us that our schools are ‘good’. They aren’t broken, but we can absolutely make them better.”
