A survey has found only 3 per cent of Hunter teachers believe their school is well resourced as union leaders demand more state and federal funding for public education.

The NSW Teachers Federation survey of 664 Hunter teachers and principals showed educators were dissatisfied with how their public schools were resourced, leading to poorer outcomes for students and unsustainable work loads.
