Government accelerates $413m school property upgrades with new $58m fundingEducation Minister Erica Stanford says every school in New Zealand will benefit from today’s $413 million school infrastructure announcement, which brings forward already planned projects. “We have a significant pipeline of maintenance work to keep our schools in great shape, but we’re accelerating $413m of projects so they can get under way sooner,” Stanford said. “This will enable schools to do significant maintenance over the coming summer holidays, and support more rural and isolated schools to upgrade their infrastructure.”- Sponsor Promotion -Of the $413m, $58m is new funding for operating maintenance work for all schools. Watching the Government scramble to respond to the self mutilation they themselves created would be funny if it weren’t so sad. You aren’t so simple that all the PM has to do is pop on an orange jacket and you all believe he’s building something?
