Review of School Funding
The Australian Government is undertaking a Review of Funding for Schooling. The Review is wide-ranging, covering all schools and all sources of funding and is being conducted by an Expert Panel, headed by David Gonski.
The Panel is expected to report its findings to the Australian Government by the end of 2011. The outcomes will inform future decisions regarding government funding of Independent schools, including the amount each school receives and the way in which it is allocated.
