Further evidence of savage education cuts
In response to information released today in Parliament by Greens MHA Nick McKim about State Government cuts to education Terry Polglase, AEU Tasmanian Branch President, said:
“Before the election Will Hodgman promised not to sack teachers and to invest in education.”
“Figures released by The Greens shine a light on the depth and savageness of Will Hodgman’s broken promises and cuts to our schools.”
“Sacking teachers and ripping out millions from school budgets make a mockery of Will Hodgman’s claim to value public education and to support Gonski.”
“Premier Hodgman must commit now to reverse the damaging cuts and deliver Gonski money into schools in an open and transparent way.”
Terry Polglase, AEU Tasmania Branch President
