The Australian Education Union has called on the federal government to invest heavily in public schools, preschools and TAFE in its coronavirus recovery budget.
In June, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said boosting economic growth would be vital to restoring the nation's finances. "Unfortunately their past record in terms of investing in public education has been grim and now is the time to address that," Ms Haythorpe said.“Once JobKeeper [wage subsidy] and school discounts dry up, this will most likely lead to a number of parents not pursuing high-fee private primary schools,” education consultant Paul O’Shannassy said."We'll see increased enrolment growth in the public system over the next few years," she said.
