Working with Premier Chris Minns, we're delivering better schools and more teachers to give our kids the world class education they deserve, right where they live.
The Minns Labor Government is building more classrooms, hiring more teachers and lifting student outcomes across NSW.
BETTER SCHOOLS ACROSS SOUTH WEST SYDNEY
We’re building a new primary school and public preschool in Emerald Hills, a new high school in Leppington, and we’ve delivered a new sports high school in Eagle Vale.
New co-located public preschools are being built at public schools including Eschol Park, Greenway Park Kearns and Leppington. These public preschools will help bring down costs for families, improve access to early education and give our kids the best start in life.
And improvements are being made at Austral, Dalmeny, Greenway Park, Hoxton Park, Middleton Grange, Leppington and Rossmore Public Schools.
MORE TEACHERS FOR OUR CHILDREN
Because of the former Liberal Government’s unfair wages cap and neglect of public education, teacher vacancies reached an all time high, resulting in 10,000 merged and cancelled classes across NSW every day.
When the Minns Labor Government was elected one of our priorities was to rebuild our education system. Just in the last two and a half years we’ve:
- Delivered the largest pay rise in a generation to all of NSW’s public school teachers;
- Reduced teacher vacancies locally by 56 per cent meaning our kids are spending more time learning in class and receiving more one-on-one attention from their teachers; and
- Nearly halved the number of merged and cancelled classes by getting more teachers into the classroom.
Rebuilding our education system takes time but we are committed to getting the job done.
