Victorian students with disability to receive extra support in upcoming budget
The number of Victorian students with disability receiving extra support in government schools will be doubled as part of a $1.6 billion package to be included in the upcoming state budget.
The Disability Inclusion package is expected to create up to 1,730 jobs across Victoria by 2025, and will increase the number of students getting extra support to 55,000, the State Government says.
A pilot program to help identify and respond to the needs of students with disability will be rolled out in more than 100 Victorian schools.
The funding will also include $102.8 million to support education staff, including hiring more than 100 extra staff to help deliver programs in schools.
More to come.
