Teachers are calling for the federal government to properly fund every state school in Queensland. 

While moves to decrease federal funding for some independent schools have prompted outrage in the private education sector, the Queensland Teachers Union tells Four Triple Zed it’s state schools the federal government is leaving behind.

The QTU says the Commonwealth has failed to invest in resources and infrastructure for state schools, and should fund them to a minimum of 100 percent of the Schooling Resources Standard.
