We seem to have a policy race on to see which of Labor or Liberals loves private education more.

Chief Minister Gallagher has unveiled her latest pitch to the aspirationals:

If re-elected, ACT Labor will ensure fairer funding for every student by investing $18.5 million in needs-based funding to support non-government students over the next four years.

It includes $11 million dollars to support non-government students, and $5 million to support non-government preschool students, based on need.

ACT Labor has already committed to funding ICT in non-government schools through the $2.5 million Smart School, Smart Student grants.
