Ākonga are the centre of education investment.
The Budget 2022 education package totals more than $2 billion operating expenditure and $855 million capital expenditure, which represents a significant increase to education funding.
It builds on previous Budgets to improve property, deliver pay parity in early learning and commit to fairer and more equitable funding structures that will make a long-term difference in schools and the tertiary sector.
This year’s investment will continue the progress made towards delivering a world-class public education system that is safe and inclusive for all those participating in it, and ensures ākonga are present, participating and progressing in their learning.
