The federal Labor government’s strong policy commitment to education is set to continue with confirmation of Cabinet Ministers today, Monday, 12 May.
The IEU congratulates the continuation of Minister Jason Clare in the Education portfolio, and welcomes Senator Dr Jess Walsh as the new Minister for Early Childhood Education.
You can read today’s correspondence from the IEU to Minister Clare here.
While many challenges remain in our schools, kindergartens and preschools, the reform agenda of the Labor government was a key feature of the last three years.
It’s essential that the repairs and improvements to our education system now continue with the newly elected government.
Our union looks forward to working with Minister Clare and Minister Walsh to support the next phase of reforms needed for our students, teachers and school staff.
