Extra funds sought for Australian education capital works
The Australian Teachers Federation urged the federal government at the Premiers Conference to grant substantial extra funds for capital works and recurrent expenditure on government schools. It challenged state premiers to back ministers for education and reaffirm the 1970 Survey of educational needs showing a need for 1.443 million dollars over five years. Dr G Smith, general secretary, called the education finance situation a sign of a backward country and urged NSW Premier Sir Robert Askin to push finance at the conference. The federation warned that the 167 million allocated by the Prime Minister for government schools over five years would be exhausted quickly.
