Since the New South Wales Liberal-National Coalition was elected in 2011, 40 schools have closed in the state with only 19 having opened in the same time frame.
Most of the closures occured to schools in Regional NSW that often has fewer than 5 students attending in their final years of operation.
Whereas the schools that have opened are mostly in Sydney and surrounding suburbs, catering to far more students than those affected by closures.
645 students were impacted, but at least 10, 000 students are benefiting from the new schools.
