Education savings measures reversed

The WA Government has reversed a number of education savings measures announced in December.

Last month, in order to deliver Budget savings quickly, a range of measures were announced to be implemented by the Department of Education from 2019.

All measures were estimated to provide a total of $64 million in savings across the forward estimates. With the decision to reverse some of those measures, the total saving to the Budget is now estimated to be about $41 million.

The ‘Follow the Dream’ program will also continue to receive Department of Education funding.
