The Education Minister says she's excited to expand maths tutoring - after a pilot with 3,000 children launched.

About $40 million will go into small-group tutoring in years seven and eight. 

It's part of a $100 million boost in maths funding over four years, announced as part of Budget 2025. 

Erica Stanford says just 20 hours of tutoring is already producing a marked improvement. 

She says it's great for students. 

"They can now be involved in the whole class teaching because they understand the concepts - so it's been massively positive across the board."
