Rural Education New Deal Proposed in Parliament
In his maiden House speech Mr Hughes urges government action to aid rural education. Proposals include more Agricultural High Schools, residential rural schools, more qualified teachers, free bus transport, and tax concessions for 18 and under students educated away from home. He cites NSW figures showing only 90 of 14,000 teachers teach rural subjects and criticizes current limits on rural access to education, while Heffron defends progress and ongoing efforts to extend rural schooling and agriculture-focused programs despite funding limits.
