Erica Stanford: Education Minister on the new Government package set to give schools more funding - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

There's more funding for schools to do jobs like painting and fixing gutters as part of a $413-million-dollar package in accelerated Government investment.

Education Minister Erica Stanford says the funding will enable more maintenance to be done these summer holidays.

She says $58 million of new money will be available to schools as of now.

"Every single school up and down the country is going to be getting a 50 percent top up on their school property maintenance grant."
