A much-needed boost to rural schools' infrastructure, which has been neglected for many years.
The Education Minister's unveiled a $413 million package to get maintenance and improvement jobs at schools underway sooner.
More than half is for improvements on all isolated, rural, or small schools.
Rural Schools Leadership Association President Andrew King told Mike Hosking it will predominantly go towards basic infrastructure.
He says in the past, rural schools haven't had work done simply because of the cost to get trades people out there.
