A good education at a well-equipped school is the right of every Western Australian child – no matter where they live. In partnership with the Federal Government, we’re boosting funding to public schools in Western Australia by $1.6 billion.

We are upgrading, refurbishing and redeveloping schools across WA to prepare our young people for the jobs of the future.
