The AOb's withdrawal stems from the government's decision to eliminate the Educational Opportunities Scheme, a move characterized by the union as 'robbing from the poor'. This action contradicts the stated aim of Paul's recovery plan, which is to improve education quality.

The immediate consequence is financial hardship for schools, forcing potential job losses and reduced support services for students. This undermines the government's commitment to equal educational opportunities.
