Education creates opportunity. It is fundamental to the jobs, productivity and prosperity of Australia’s future.

Every child has a right to a high-quality, accessible and affordable education regardless of their background or where they live.

The Albanese and Minns Labor Governments are working together to build a stronger education system, with a focus on North West Sydney.

For more than a decade, families and students in our fast-growing region were ignored by the former NSW Government. This is changing under Labor.

Labor is making record investments in public education, building new world-class schools across Australia – and locally, in places like Grantham Farm.

The new primary school and co-located preschool announced by the Minns Government will support local families for generations to come.

This latest educational investment adds to the new and upgraded schools already being delivered in Tallawong, Box Hill, Rouse Hill, The Ponds and surrounds.

From early childhood learning, through to higher education, vocational skills and training, Labor is giving people the strongest foundation for succes.

The Albanese Government is building a universal early childhood education system where access to the Child Care Subsidy is guaranteed, care is affordable, and workers are remunerated fairly.

Our Cheaper Child Care reforms have saved families around $4,400 on average and are giving parents and carers more choice to work or study to earn more.

Fee-free TAFE places are skilling-up our future workforce and our HECS relief program will cut student debt by a further 20 per cent.

Delivering new schools and forward-looking meaningful educational policies happens when good Labor governments work together to build a better future for all.

Only Labor will ensure families in North West Sydney get access to world-class education facilities – locally – that they want and deserve.
