Member for Nanango, Deb Frecklington is delighted that students in the Nanango Electorate are set to benefit from even more funding through the second round of State Government’s Great Results Guarantee funding.
Mrs Frecklington has welcomed the announcement that $2,201,096 million will go directly to schools in the Nanango Electorate’s region, $372,754 more than last year’s allocation.
“The Queensland Government has a strong plan for the state’s future, which is why we are working hard to revitalise frontline services, particularly education,” Mrs Frecklington said.
“Local schools have already experienced the benefits of the Great Results Guarantee initiative and this funding boost will continue to improve the literacy and numeracy outcomes of our students.”
Deb said the funding empowers principals to invest in programs and initiatives that will make a real difference in their school by targeting areas for improvement and she praised the community involvement aspect of the Great Results Guarantee.
“Schools are encouraged to involve the community in deciding how to invest the funds, and their guarantees are published on their website,” Deb said.
“The more involved a community is with the school the more likely students will enjoy a successful education experience.”
A total of $183 million will be provided to all Queensland state schools next year, a $52 million increase on the $131 million provided in 2014, the first year of the Great Results Guarantee.
The Great Results Guarantee investment is the result of the Australian Government’s Students First – A fairer funding agreement for schools initiative.
