We have outstanding examples of what high-quality school infrastructure can achieve, but too many schools are being held back by underfunding.
Schools For Our Future will make recommendations to government on what investment is needed to meet the needs of every child.
The Education Minister has been urged to slam the brakes on a reckless departmental shake up of school attendance policy that would see 113 specialist Home School Liaison Officer positions replaced by clerks with no experience in getting kids to school.

Federation met with Cuban Ambassador Gilma Moreira Lino in Sydney on Friday.
Education should never be a casualty of politics and as such our union supports international calls for the United States to end its illegal blockade, which is having a devastating impact on education, forcing schools to close and leaving students and teachers without access to essential food, medicine, and resources.
Solidarity with Cuban teachers and students.
