\nNew figures reveal that Newcastle schools will get\u00a0a $19.4 million funding injection<\/a>\u00a0from 2020 if Labor wins the upcoming Federal election.\u00a0[See below for full school-by-school list of funding increases.]<\/em>
\nFederal Member for Newcastle Sharon Claydon MP said every student in every public school in Newcastle will be better off under Labor\u2019s commitment to invest an extra $14.5 billion in Australia\u2019s public schools.
\n\u201cNewcastle public schools will receive an average increase of $450,000 each over three years,\u201d Ms Claydon said.
\n\u201cParents and teachers can find out how much extra funding their school will receive at\u00a0www.fairgoforschools.com.au<\/a>.\u201d
\nMs Claydon said the funding would restore cuts made by the Federal Government when Scott Morrison was Treasurer.
\n\u201cThe Federal Government abandoned signed contracts with the New South Wales Government. This has resulted in $14.5 million worth of cuts to Newcastle schools over 2017 and 2018 alone,\u201d Ms Claydon said.
\n\u201cThese cuts have meant fewer teachers, less individual attention and less support to help kids achieve their potential.\u201d
\nMs Claydon said Labor could afford to make the investment in public schools \u00a0because of decisions to scale back excessive tax concessions that largely benefit wealthy Australians.
\n\u201cLabor has chosen to close a number of tax loopholes so we can afford to invest in the schools, hospitals and public services that benefit all Australians,\u201d Ms Claydon said.
\n\u201cWhile the Government is backing in tax breaks for the wealthy, Labor is investing in our children and our future prosperity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
