Dan Repacholi amplifies Jack on quality learning environments

Joining the 2024 Youth Voice in Parliament campaign, Dan Repacholi amplified the voice of 14 year old Jack on the need for quality learning environments. Speech transcript is below -
"I study in a school that has no air conditioning or heating. This effects mine and others ability to learn and concentrate within the classroom.
This is due to the under funding of schools in NSW.
One of the most important thing that the government can provide is a quality learning environment. This can not be achieved when you are sitting in a hot humid classroom or a freezing cold one.
One single private school spent more money on a new pool and upgrades to their drama and fitness facilities then the government spent on public school funding in that year. Private schools are given more of tax payers money then public schools envelope though they need this money more as they are non for profit and don’t make money any other way.
I am proposing that the government supplies public schools with the appropriate air conditioning and heating systems and to eliminate all private school funding as they make their own money off the people who attend. In doing this it should provide young Australians in public schools with a quality and comfortable learning environment."
