-Julia Gillard is responsible for the school hall rip off - $16.2 billion spent on school halls, a $1.7 billion blow out, at least $5 billion wasted through mismanagement, gouging and state government substitution, no requirement for value for money, non government schools allowed to self manage their projects while government schools were ripped off.
Ironic, considering Gillard attended public schools herself.
-Julia Gillard is responsible for the computers in schools program – a $1.2 billion blow out, 300 000 laptops delivered out of 970 000 promised, no broadband hook up for schools as was promised in 2007 and the program delayed for longer than it took to prosecute WWI.... Oh, you though only Rudd was to blame?
My son is currently in year 10 at a local government high school, and has been without a qualified computer teacher since the end of last term, though he has a shiny new school laptop he can now watch movies on, and thats about it as they are far too small to comfortably write up an essay on. His friend has been without his school issued laptop for a whole term, and when something goes wrong with them or they are stolen, they take forever, if at all to be replaced.
-Julia Gillard is responsible for the abolition of the Australian Technical Colleges and the introduction of Trades Training Centres – 2650 promised in every government secondary school.
Not all highschools, many schools having to pool resources, their students forced to abandon classes in order to attend another high schools trade centre.
-Julia Gillard is responsible for implementing the policy to “end the dreaded double drop off” (Rudd’s promise from 2007 in relation to Child Care Centres) – 260 Child Care Centres promised, 38 delivered, the promise has now been junked.
[b]Have people stopped having children?
Julia Gillard has been responsible for four programs in Education and Child Care that she has manifestly failed to deliver – why would you trust her to run the country?
