Government schools across the State are today celebrating their outstanding achievements as part of Public Education Day 2009. Speaking at a special reception at Parliament House, Premier and Minister for Education and Skills, David Bartlett, said that Public Education Day, a joint initiative of the Australian Education Union and the State Government, aimed to lift the profile of public education in
the community. “Public Education Day 2009 is a wonderful day to celebrate public education by recognising those many people who make such a significant contribution to our state, our community, and most importantly to our learners,” Mr Bartlett said. “Tasmanian Government schools have a lot to celebrate. “The theme of this year’s Public Education Day is ‘Education for Everybody’. It’s my passionate belief that we should be extremely proud of our State education system and what it offers our young people to see them through life. “I am committed to providing our students with the best possible education in Government schools. “Since the Tasmanian Government came to power in 1998, we have invested a total of $7.260 billion for education, training and information services in this State. “A record investment of $1.06 billion will be injected into the Tasmanian education and training sector in 2008-09. “Our teachers are at the forefront of ensuring that we reach those goals and I applaud their commitment and innovation.” Mr Bartlett also presented certificates to the winners of two statewide competitions held as part of Public Education Day celebrations.
