Reforming school funding

(From a recent Life Matters broadcast)

A report making the case for wholescale reform of how schools are funded in Australia was released (July 1st) by the Foundation for Young Australians.

The report, Resourcing Schools in Australia, recommends
that all schools be funded under a single framework in contrast with the current system where the states mostly fund public education, and the Commonwealth finances non government schools. 

FYA,  Foundation for Young Australians' Education division, has a long history of advocating on key youth issues relating to education and wellbeing. Drawing on quality, evidenced-based research, we have promoted new initiatives, policies and discussions that can have a significant and lasting impact on the life chances and outcomes of young Australians.
