The Victorian government will deploy more than 4100 tutors across schools in 2021 to ensure no student is left behind after the coronavirus pandemic.
At a cost of $250 million, it will be the single biggest boost to individual learning support in the state's history, the government says.
The funding package comprises:
- $209.6 million for all government schools to attract and employ 3500 tutors across the 2021 school year.
- $30 million to employ 600 tutors at non-government schools to support disadvantaged students.
- $8.6 million in 2021 for family engagement initiatives to support schools working with families. This includes an additional 16 Koorie engagement support officers and 60 additional multilingual and bicultural workers.
