OECD ranks Australia as one of the wealthiest countries, yet public schools remain underfunded by $6.5bn annually. Fully funding them could grow GDP by up to $74bn over 20 years. Our leaders have the means, time to show courage. #fundpublicschools

Great to have a straight conversation today with Senator @JacquiLambieTAS on getting fair rules and funding for our schools, dealing with teacher shortages and new ways to re-engage our young people. @andy_mison @MatGrino

Visited my Alma Mater Fort St High yesterday with another of its former students, Michael Kirby. The government should be investing more in public education. Whilst the gap in facilities between private and public is vast, what public schools are asking for is not. They deserve the support needed to provide the best education possible.

Chatting to @Dan_Bourchier about my concerns with the major party stitch up on electoral reform that will lock out more community-backed independents.

They're clearly terrified of minority govt & being forced to put people before politics.

[Andy Mison @andy_mison]

Great to share the stage with @Lofts1964 this afternoon! @NSWSPC @ASPALeaders

[ASPA @ASPALeaders]

ASPA welcomes accelerated funding for Tasmanian public schools! While we applaud the commitment to reach 100% SRS by 2026, we seek clarity on funding measurement & advocate for full transparency. #FundOurSchools @MatGrino @andy_mison

An eye-opening read from @andy_mison on how Ontario does things differently (and better). This offers a different way of looking at Australia’s challenges. @msciffer @Anncaro11 @pasi_sahlberg

ASPA President @andy_mison says it’s "deeply disappointing that the principle of needs-based equitable funding for every Australian child should be so contested in our national life": https://t.co/VC8QU93HOf

[Andy Mison @andy_mison]

If we are to subsidise private schools, we should require commensurate obligation. The current system is concentrating disadvantage and segregating our kids. @DavidPocock @senatorpennyqld @JacquiLambieTAS @ASPALeaders

[ASPA @ASPALeaders]

Yes to more focus on equity in the debate @isaschools - if you accept public subsidy, you should accept the same regulation of fees, and inclusive enrolment from a prescribed catchment, as public schools. Thus choice AND fairness https://t.co/XbLuQHq7Jb

[ASPA @ASPALeaders]

ASPA President @andy_mison is learning from Canada's approach to equitable education funding & regulation. Their commitment to fully funded public education, including faith-based schools, offers valuable insights for Australia. Read here: https://t.co/Kx96QnYpbj

[Andy Mison @andy_mison]

What a privilege to be in Toronto with @Lofts1964 learning how the Canadian school system works and equitably funds all students. @NSWSPC @ASPALeaders

[Andy Mison @andy_mison]

@nswppa Congratulations Michael and team.

[Andy Mison @andy_mison]

I’m really hoping the story on school funding this time next year will restore trust in a federation that works in the public interest.
