Australian public school teachers are regularly forced to dip into their own pockets for basic supplies, and schools are reliant on fundraising to provide essentials such as teaching staff and computers, according to the latest AEU State of our Schools survey.
AEU media release: Australia’s continuing decline in the PISA international school test results shows the urgent need for investment in disadvantaged schools.

AEU NT STATEMENT IN RESPONSE TO THE NT ELECTION The AEU NT congratulates Michael Gunner and the Labor Party on a decisive election victory. Voters in this election decisively rejected Adam Giles and the Country Liberal Party and their arrogant and inept approach to government.
The AEU will not let up in our campaign for equitable school funding, writes Federal President Correna Haythorpe Malcolm Turnbull will remain as Prime Minister but his huge drop in support at the election has changed Australia’s political landscape.
The Australian Education Union represents and advocates for all teaching staff in public education, as well as many support workers.
