Northern Tablelands contender Debra O’Brien this week outlined Labor’s plan to provide permanent classrooms for the thousands of students currently learning in demountables – including the 16 such temporary structures at schools in the Northern Tablelands.
“We must provide the best possible learning environment, including modern and permanent classrooms, to ensure our kids get the best education and start in life,” Ms O’Brien said.
“Demountables were always meant to be a temporary fix, but students in the Northern Tablelands have been stuck in demountables for years.”
Under the plan, schools with the oldest and highest number of demountables will receive priority through an additional $100 million in funding.
