Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington says students in the South Burnett are set to benefit from even more funding through the second round of State Government’s Great Results Guarantee funding.
More than $1.2 million will go directly to schools in the South Burnett section of the Nanango electorate, $283,000 more than last year’s allocation.
“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,” Mrs Frecklington said.
She said the funding empowered principals to invest in programs and initiatives that will make a real difference in their school by targeting areas for improvement.
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,” Mrs Frecklington 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 under the program to all Queensland state schools next year, $52 million more than this year.
