Jason Clare, who became a fan favourite during the Federal Election campaign, has revealed his elevation to Education Minister is a “dream come true” as he unveiled the party’s broad-sweeping policy agenda.
Mr Clare was one of Labor’s shining figures during the Federal Election campaign, taking a front and centre position when Anthony Albanese was thrown into COVID-19 isolation.
Mr Clare said there were multiple areas in his new ministry which had the ability to boost economic productivity or improve future output and skills. “What we do in our primary schools and our high schools if we get it right really sets the Australian economy up for the next decade and the decade beyond making sure that our kids have the skills they need for the jobs of the future.”Mr Clare referred back to the government’s flagship childcare policy which he said was critical to economic productivity.
“So that’s priority number one getting the legislation that underpins that through the parliament so we can implement that,” he said. “And then the work that we do with our universities – they got hammered by COVID they didn’t get JobKeeper but they also lost a lot of international students.”which would see high achieving school leavers become eligible for payments of more than $10,000 to study teaching.
