Newcastle, Port Stephens schools in budget: Martin

HUNTER schools will win funding in next week's state budget, the state government has confirmed.

Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Taylor Martin said Newcastle Education Campus, Hunter River high School and Irrawang High School were earmarked to receive cash in Tuesday's financial roadmap.

The amount each would earn was not specified, but Mr Martin said it was part of a $2.1 billion allocation designed to fund 44 new and upgraded schools.

"These three school upgrades will be an incredible asset for the entire community ensuring high-quality education facilities for students and teachers," Mr Martin said.

NSW Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said the funding was an extension of a program that has spent $7 billion since 2017.
