$913.7 million over seven years for 10 new state schools to open in 2023 and 2024 in high-growth areas, including primary schools at Yarrabilba, Ripley, Augustine Heights/Redbank Plains, Redland Bay and Bellbird Park, and secondary schools at Palmview, Springfield and Collingwood Park/Redbank Plains.

Families in fast-growing communities get 10 new primary and secondary schools opening in 2023 and 2024.

General Government capital. $913.7 million over 7 years for these 10 new schools. BP2 discloses a 2021-22 figure for the wider Building Future Schools Program ($7.944 million expense, Table 7.1; $124.463 million capital, Table 7.2) and the SDS allocates $527.1 million of capital in 2021-22, but those cover the whole program rather than this 10-school subset, so a measure-specific budget-year amount is recorded as null.

$508.3 million over four years (and $58.7 million per year ongoing) for additional and renewed infrastructure in Queensland's existing state schools, including new classrooms, halls, performing arts centres, playgrounds, fencing and covered outdoor areas, with $309.2 million in 2021-22 to improve and upgrade regional schools.

Existing state schools get new classrooms, halls and facilities to handle growing enrolments, with a strong focus on regional schools.

General Government capital and operating. $508.3 million over 4 years and $58.7 million per year ongoing for additional and renewed infrastructure in existing state schools; the SDS reports $496.4 million in the 2021-22 capital program for additional facilities at existing schools, which forms part of a broader program, so the measure-specific budget-year figure is recorded as null.

$202.9 million over four years (and $64 million per year ongoing) to support the continued provision of universal access to kindergarten in the year before school for Queensland children.

Families get continued access to subsidised kindergarten in the year before school, helping children start school ready to learn.

General Government operating, $202.9 million over 4 years and $64 million per year ongoing; the papers do not separately disclose the 2021-22 budget-year figure, so the budget-year amount is recorded as null.

$53.9 million in 2021-22 for air-conditioning installation and replacement in state schools under the $477 million Cooler Cleaner Schools Program, plus $39.3 million for the Advancing Clean Energy Schools Program to install solar and energy efficiency measures.

More state school classrooms get air-conditioning and solar panels, keeping students cooler and cutting energy costs.

General Government capital, $53.9 million in 2021-22 for air-conditioning under the $477 million Cooler Cleaner Schools Program (plus $39.3 million for the Advancing Clean Energy Schools Program).
