Wednesday, 1 July 2009
The Prime Minister, the Hon Kevin Rudd, and the Minister for Education, the
Hon Julia Gillard, yesterday announced that 537 science laboratories and
language learning centres will be built or refurbished under the first stage of
the Science and Language Centres for 21st Century Secondary Schools element of
the Building the Education Revolution.
Visiting Marsden State High School in Brisbane, the Prime
Minister announced that $810 million in funding will provide
students with access to modern facilities with leading edge
technologies in their own learning spaces.
Construction of these projects will commence quickly, providing
immediate support for jobs.
Secondary schools were assessed through a competitive process
where they were required to demonstrate the school’s disadvantage
and need.
