    Despite the election promises by the Lib's to remove command and control state education funding, they are going to do exactly that with an increase of 1.2 Billion to the States.

    "The funding boost over three years from 2018 comes with conditions on the states and territories, including literacy and numeracy checks on children in Year 1 and minimum standards for students to pass Year 12."

    "The funding will require schools to have a certain proportion of literacy and numeracy specialists and teachers will be paid according to competency instead of length of service.

    All students will have to do an English or humanities subject as well as maths or science before they can get a university entrance score.

    The extra money will be included in Tuesday's budget as part of a $73.6 billion student achievement plan."
