Education

There are now more than 7,300 extra teachers and support staff in our schools than there were in 1999. Since 1999, 57 new and replacement schools have been built or funded. More than a quarter of schools have received funding for major building works.

The Labor Government is serious about improving the teaching of technical skills so our children can get good jobs in the field of their choice. Victoria needs more and better skilled people to support our skill based economy. Increasing the skills, knowledge and abilities of Victorians will support increased productivity and better workforce participation. What’s good for the economy is also good for individuals. The longer a person has trained or studied, the more likely they are to have a job, a home and a secure income
