On Sunday, state Opposition leader Michael Daley announced Labor would divert the $500 million from the Berejiklian government's $2 billion stadiums plan for the new classrooms.
The coalition's stadium plans would see the knockdown and rebuild of Allianz Stadium in Moore Park, the upgrade of ANZ Stadium at Olympic Park and a new facility at Parramatta.
"Demountables are only supposed to be used temporarily but the Liberals have been piling them into schools to try to manage severe overcrowding," Mr Daley said in a statement.
"They failed to build new bricks and mortar classrooms for eight long years. Now we have hundreds of schools that are over-capacity, with no room left for kids to play," he said.
Schools with the most demountable classrooms would be prioritised under the scheme, to begin some $1.4 billion of needed upgrades, Labor says.
More than one in 10 classrooms in NSW are now demountables, it claims.
In 2018, Labor released statistics obtained under freedom of information which the party said shows more than 4,000 demountables across the state are over 20 years old.
NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said Labor's policy represented only half of the permanent classrooms being delivered by the coalition.
"We're already replacing more than 1000 demountables with permanent air-conditioned classrooms as part of the 2000 classrooms we are currently building," Mr Perrottet said in a statement on Sunday.
In January, premier Gladys Berejiklian and Education Minister Rob Stokes announced the government had revamped almost 400 classrooms for the start of the 2019 school year.
This forms part of the government's $6 billion school infrastructure investment to be delivered over four years covering 170 different schools.
The government will also spend $847 million on school maintenance and $500 million on air conditioning.
