Labor education spokesman Josh Willie said the reduction, as part of the $450 million in budget savings, was equivalent to "cutting 116 teachers".

He said Tasmanian students, teachers, principals and school attendants should not have to pay for the "Liberal's financial mismanagement".

"Jeremy Rockliff was front and centre on the razor gang and cuts to the Department of Education will reduce support for Tasmanian schools," Mr Willie said.

"The Liberals owe Tasmanians the truth - will schools be impacted by their cuts?

"Students and their families should not have to pay for poor budget mismanagement."

Education Minister Jeremy Rockliff dismissed his concerns.

"The government has been clear that it will meet budget targets while protecting front line delivery services," Mr Rockliff said.

"Furthermore, we will meet our commitment of an additional 250 teachers over six years, as well as provide disability funding to meet learner needs, supporting students impacted by trauma and behavioural challenges, nurses for Colleges, laboratory technicians, as well as the continued roll-out of extension schools.

"Unlike Labor which has no plan or alternative budget, we're focused on building a better education system for young Tasmanians with a record $7.1 billion spend over the next four years."
