*7391 PUBLIC SCHOOLS VISITED—Mr Adrian Piccoli asked the Premier, and Minister for the Arts—<br />
With reference to the NSW public schools that have been visited by the Premier since 8 October 2008,<br />
would the Premier please provide the following information:<br />
(a) Name <strong>of</strong> NSW public school;<br />
(b) Date <strong>of</strong> visit;<br />
(c) Reason for visit?<br />
Answer—<br />
The Premier has a strong commitment to public education and has visited 33 public schools since 8<br />
October 2008.<br />
NSW has a world class public education system, and the Government is committed to further enhancing<br />
its quality. In the 2009-10 Budget, the NSW Government announced that a record $14.7 billion would be<br />
invested in school education and vocational training across NSW. This funding will go towards<br />
supporting the increase in school leaving age, with an additional $25 million over five years for new<br />
capital infrastructure such as new classrooms, along with additional funding for staff and other measures<br />
which will rise to around $100 million in 2012-13.<br />
Other commitments to be funded in the Budget include enhancing the quality and retention <strong>of</strong> permanent<br />
new teachers, investing in the new Bilingual Schools Program, and funding programs for students with<br />
disabilities, indigenous students, students speaking English as a second language and students in rural<br />
areas.<br />

within whose portfolio the Bureau resides.<br />
