A Canberra Liberals Government is committed to delivering school infrastructure and quality education for all of our children. Today we’re making additional commitments to strengthen our education plans for all Canberrans, Leader of the Opposition Jeremy Hanson said today.

“Our $85 million More Support for All Schools package includes $60 million for infrastructure and capital upgrades for government schools, $17.5 million for kids with special needs in non-government schools and $7.5 million for our special schools. We will also deliver a new site for a Catholic School in Molonglo and flashing safety lights at all Canberra Schools,” Mr Hanson said.
In addition, we will deliver:

• $15 million for infrastructure upgrades for non-government schools.
• A badly needed new site for a non-government school in West Belconnen.

“Education will be paramount under a Canberra Liberals Government and unlike ACT Labor and the Greens we can make realistic commitments, because we won’t be wasting $14 billion on trams,” Mr Doszpot said.

“The Canberra Liberals have consulted with parents, teachers and other stakeholders. We know what we need to fix education and we will deliver,” Mr Doszpot concluded.
