Here's your guide to understanding what the major parties are offering in education funding in the federal election.

The 2019 Budget included a $94 million scholarships program to encourage students to study in regional Australia.

Bill Shorten said the number of apprenticeships has slumped since the Coalition took office in 2013. Is he correct? Under the changes, students can only get loans if they take on approved courses in areas of skills shortages. Students who take on a course that is not approved have to pay upfront.The Opposition has promised to return to a demand-driven university system, which it says would give 200,000 more Australians the chance to go to university at a cost of $10 billion over a decade.

Labor has also set aside $10 million for the creation of 1,300 new scholarships for Indigenous people to study at TAFE if they live outside the big cities.

High school education in WA is being shaken up — here's what is changing and how it affects youPreviously students have had to choose between ATAR or VET pathways to pursue academic or vocational studies.
