A leaked report from the New South Wales Department of Education suggests that population growth will necessitate an investment of $A7 billion in the state’s education system. More than 220 new primary and secondary schools will need to be built by 2036. The number of primary school students is forecast to rise from 625,600 in 2011 to 818,200 in 2036

The New South Wales Government’s parliamentary inquiry into home schooling will commence public hearings in September 2014. Some 3,238 students were registered for home schooling in the state in December 2013, but groups that are involved in home schooling believe that the unofficial figure is much higher. The Department of Education’s submission to the inquiry notes the lack of procedures to gauge the true extent of unregistered home education
