The Budget invests nearly $1 billion to support the core provision of education services. This will provide substantial support to students across all levels of education, while also targeting investment in areas that we know will benefit students who need it the most. The education package makes a significant investment in our early childhood sector. The sector has been placed under particular strain in recent years, and this has been exacerbated by COVID-19. The Budget includes cost adjustments for early childhood education subsidies and a pay boost for early childhood teachers. The Government will make further announcements on support for this sector in the near future. The school property investment package will invest $115.1 million to help expand, maintain, and enhance our schools.
