The state government is fast-tracking $50 million in school air-conditioning funding to provide 300 schools across southern Queensland a cooler learning environment.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says “For our students and teachers, the classroom is where they spend most of their day… We want all Queensland students to learn in a comfortable and cool environment.”
The premier adds that “By fast-tracking this funding, work that had been planned in future years can begin now, providing a valuable boost to our economy.”
