More than 1,300 schools to get upgrades and new equipment

More than 1,300 schools across Australia are set to benefit from upgrades and new equipment, the Federal Government announced today.

The $32m grant will provide schools with outdoor learning areas, upgraded air conditioning, better ventilation and new digital devices.

Federal Education Minister, Jason Clare, said the funding is part of a $250m commitment to improve school infrastructure across the nation.

“All schools across the country were invited to apply for the funding and projects were assessed by the Department of Education and selected based on need,” Minister Clare said today.

“More than half the schools receiving funding are in regional or remote areas. The Albanese Labor Government is delivering on our promise to invest in our schools and there is more to come.”
