The Western Australian government has vowed to rebuild and revamp dozens of secondary schools across the state if it’s re-elected next year.
One billion dollars will be invested into 65 schools, fixing facilities on the campuses that have been described as “third world”.
“Schools that were built in the 60s and the 70s and the 50s are not prepared to offer the subject choices that are available today,” Education Minister Peter Collier told 9NEWS.
“Every school out of the 65 schools will get an upgrade.”
The government said it will only be able to invest the money if it privatises 51 percent of Western Power.
“This( (is) pork barrelling, this blatant pork barrelling into various areas of Perth,” Shadow Treasurer Ben Wyatt said to 9NEWS.
“We have Mr Barnett trying to flog the asset to try and buy his way into a third term.”
It is expected to take six years to complete the upgrades with most of the work undertaken to target specific subjects.
“Particularly in design and technology, performing arts, hospitality, arts, music,” Mr Collier said.
