The Australian Government has asked David Gonski to undertake a second review of school funding, after announcing that it will adopt the needs-based funding model that he had recommended in 2011. The Government had previously resisted the needs-based model, which had been backed by the former Australian Labor Party government. Education Minister Simon Birmingham has advised that government funding for schools will increase by $A18.6bn over the next decade.
