The Turnbull government's $23.5 billion schools funding package has passed the Senate by 34 votes to 31, after a marathon debate which lasted into the early hours of Friday morning.
It passed just after 2am with the government securing the support of Pauline Hanson's One Nation party, the Nick Xenophon Team, and crossbench Senators Jacqui Lambie, Lucy Gichuhi and Derryn Hinch.
On Friday morning Turnbull fronted a press conference and labelled the reforms "an outstanding result" for Australian schools, students and their parents.
Labor and the Greens voted against the package, but the government secured the 10 crucial crossbench votes needed to win the vote 34-31.
The government put an extra 5 billion dollars into the package, dubbed Gonski two point zero, taking the total value to 23.5 billion dollars over the next ten years.
Opposition education spokeswoman Tanya Plibersek says Labor will work to restore every dollar cut by the coalition.
The Catholic education sector says it will also continue their campaign against the reforms.
Education Minister Simon Birmingham has told Sky News, opposition from Catholic schools and Labor is not justified.
