Dozens of local teachers will join NSW Teachers Federation President Henry Rajendra to rally against potential cuts to the historic $4.8 billion education funding agreement if there is a change of government.
In the federal electorate of Eden Monaro, there are 63 public schools, educating 15,165 students.
