Only 1.3% of public schools receive the minimum funding they need from governments. Public schools in the Miller electorate were underfunded by 13.3 million in 2022. That’s $2,932 per student every year. Meanwhile 98% of private schools are overfunded.
It’s a system that heaps privilege onto a fortunate few, while robbing millions of disadvantaged kids of their futures. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
In Queensland, Labor is in government both state and federally. They could end this crisis tomorrow.
