As you are aware, the Federal Opposition has yet to ‘Guarantee the Full Gonski' if they win government at the next Federal election. The Abbot plan only intends to fund the new arrangements for the next 4 years which will effectively cut more than $3 billion of the legislated $5 billion in funding that is intended for schools in NSW.
At this stage the full benefit of the new Gonski funding arrangement is now dependent upon the outcome of the Federal election.
To this end, a Public Education Forum has been planned for Wednesday 28 August commencing at 5.30pm at Club Coffs on West High.
All local candidates in the upcoming Federal election contesting the electorate of Cowper have been invited to address this forum followed by a period of questions.
