The federal government’s share of public school funding has traditionally been set at 20 per cent. However, Education Minister Jason Clare will propose progressively increasing this to 22.5 per cent by 2026. The state and territory governments will in turn be required to increase their own funding for public schools. The additional funding will have to be spent on measures aimed at improving teaching standards and educational outcomes, including assistance for students who are at risk of being ‘left behind’. The Australian Education Union has advocated lifting the federal government’s share of education funding to 25 per cent.
