North-Eastern Metropolitan Regi

Aiv PUGLIELLI (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:48): My constituency question is to the Minister for Education. I have seen your recent announcement that you are providing schools with multistorey relocatable classrooms, including Glen Waverley high school in my region. I think it is very telling that our public schools are so underfunded and so overcrowded that students are now being stacked in up to three-level demountable classrooms – hardly the Education State. Minister, when will you provide proper funding for schools in the North-East Metropolitan Region to build permanent, fit-for-purpose classrooms instead of scrambling and offering these temporary stack-’em-up blocks?
