On Wednesday night we held a community forum in Western Sydney with teachers, parents and state politicians.

They all agree - it's not good enough that none of the schools in NSW are fully funded.

Anthony Albanese we deserve better - fully fund public schools now! #auspol

AEU President Correna Haythorpe is addressing the National TAFE Council at their AGM.

She’s discussing the crucial role of TAFE in Australia’s public education system, and our ongoing campaign to secure greater investment and strengthen the workforce to #RebuildWithTAFE

Australia’s public schools will miss out on $13bn in the next five years if accounting tricks are maintained in upcoming funding agreements, a major report has found.

Anthony Albanese will you step up and be the leader our children need?

There can be no equity in education without fully funding public schools, and it's encouraging to hear the commitment from Jason Clare MP, Prue Car MP & Blair Boyer MP to achieving this.

This is a once in a generation opportunity. Let's make it happen! #auspol #nswpol #saparli

We have a once in a generation opportunity to fully fund our public schools.

That’s what I’m fighting for.

Great to join Jason Clare MP and Prue Car MP - who both share a determination to realise the vision of Gonski.

SA and NSW are standing together calling on the Commonwealth Government to provide the fair funding our public schools deserve.

Standing up in the Parliament of Australia with Blair Boyer MP this morning, asking the Commonwealth to lift its public school funding.

Our children deserve nothing less than to have their education funded to 100% of the Schooling Resource Standard.

We finished tonight’s event with a short panel discussion where our speakers fielded questions on some of the pressing issues - from the best way to implement wrap-around services in schools, to improving attitudes towards public education & teachers. #auspol

“Unfortunately it was clear that it’s not a level playing field out there, even amongst public schools.”

Dyonne Anderson on her experience of visiting schools as part of the NSRA review panel, where she found that remote schools are worst affected by underfunding. #auspol

“It’s the difference between treading water and being able to offer that support and make sure our public education system is fit for purpose in the 21st century.”

SA Education Minister Blair Boyer MP on the importance of funding 100% of the schooling resource standard. #auspol

“The truth is we’re dealing with kids with more complex needs, more behavioural issues, more mental health problems. We can’t address any of this without fixing the teacher shortage and getting the funding right.” - NSW Education Minister Prue Car MP

#auspol

NSW Education Minister Prue Car MP is addressing tonight’s event.

She says teachers in her state are doing incredible work, but are running on the smell of an oily rag.

They need more support to deliver for our kids in our public schools. #auspol #nswpol

“We see the problem. And we feel like we have a chance to fix this. We’re not here forever, so we have to make every day a day where we get closer to building a better and fairer education system.”

Encouraging words from Federal Education Minister Jason Clare MP

#auspol

Tonight we’re at the Parliament House Theatre, Canberra to discuss equity & excellence in school education.

We’ll be joined by Jason Clare MP Prue Car MP Blair Boyer MP Pasi Sahlberg & Dyonne Anderson to share their views on the future of public education & how we get there. #auspol

The challenges are too great and the cost of inaction too high for governments to continue to fail on public school funding.

We won't rest until Anthony Albanese delivers on his promise to fully fund public schools! #auspol
