I would like to invite the members of your P&C and parents at your school to a special forum with the Federal Minister for Education Jason Clare and Jason Yat-Sen Li, the State Member for Strathfield.

You’ll have the opportunity to hear about our plans to improve Australia’s education system including:

  • What future funding should be invested in to improve education outcomes.
  • Our plans to ensure all schools are on a path to 100 percent of its fair funding level.
  • How we can drive real improvements for students most at risk of falling behind and who need additional support.

I will outline some of the federal government programs and grants I can assist with. Jason Yat-Sen Li will talk about the NSW government’s plans to improve the education system in NSW.

You’ll also hear from other P&C groups about special projects they are running.

There will be an opportunity to ask questions.
