Education

Greens spokesperson for Education Hon Alison Xamon MLC has welcomed the announcement from the Premier Mark McGowan that the Government will reverse its decision to close Schools of the Air (SOTA) and revoke a number of other ill thought out cuts to Education, but stresses the Government must now rethink the way it does business.

Ms Xamon said while she shared in the relief of the community which had shown so much outrage over the decisions, today’s backflip must be the last time the Government is forced to back-pedal because of poor decision making on their part.

Greens (WA) Spokesperson for Education Hon Alison Xamon MLC has today called on the Minister for Education to abandon her ill-conceived cuts to education.

Ms Xamon said that the cuts came while the Minister continued to pursue the hugely unpopular relocation of the International School of Western Australia (ISWA).
