"Schools in Melbourne’s western suburbs will be targeted by a $3 million Brumby Government education injection to tackle disadvantage and bridge the education gap. Education Minister Bronwyn Pike said the western suburbs were leading the way in turning struggling schools around and the Brumby Government would build on that work with a suite of new interventions to take off in the west and then expand throughout the state.“The Brumby Government is driving reforms in the education system to lift all schools to a higher standard because we want to give every child every opportunity to shine regardless of their postcode or socio-economic circumstances,” Ms Pike said. Education remains the Brumby Government’s number one priority and this investment in the west builds on our Education Blueprint reforms already underway to address disadvantage and reform school improvement across Victoria."
