Australia's School Funding: Unequal & Inequitable
Description
Australias school funding system is heavily skewed towards private schools, with many public schools struggling to meet their legal funding minimums. This imbalance has been exacerbated by a shift in funding models that prioritize parental choice over student needs. Jane Caros new essay delves into this policy mess, challenging myths about choice saving money and taxpayers buying services. She advocates for a fresh agreement that levels the playing field by providing true need-based funding across all schools.
