NSW Labor has continued its big cash splash on education announcing it would spend $7.4 billion on building new schools and upgrading others if it wins the election in 11 days.
Opposition leader Michael Daley on Tuesday said a Labor government would commit to building and upgrading 204 schools over four years in "the largest investment in public schools in NSW history".
"Labor will make sure school infrastructure keeps up with the booming school-aged population," he told reporters at Dalmeny Public School in Sydney's southwest.
The opposition leader argued the ALP could afford the record investment because it wouldn't proceed with the coalition's "$2.2 billion Sydney stadiums splurge".
Mr Daley said there were almost 5000 demountable classrooms in NSW schools and the government recently purchased 520 more rather than investing in bricks and mortar.
During Labor's official campaign launch on Sunday, he also promised to fully fund public schools to the tune of $2.7 billion, to deliver 100 per cent of the standard level of funding for every student by the end of the Gonski agreement in 2027.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian on the weekend promised almost one billion dollars in school funding at the Liberal Party's campaign launch.
