SECONDARY SCHOOLS —
FUNDING
909. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Minister for Education and
Training:
I refer to the government's
decision to reduce the per-student funding allocation for schools with an
enrolment threshold of 1 200 students or more in 2018.
(1) Can the
minister confirm that this decision reduced the combined total per-student
funding across these schools by $12.674 million; and, if not, what is the
correct figure?
(2) Will the minister provide a breakdown of the
redistributed funds referred to in (1) to —
(a) schools with fewer than 500
students;
(b) schools with 500 to 900 students;
and
(c) support the delivery of Labor election
commitments?
(3) With regard
to 2(c), will the minister provide a further breakdown of the election
commitments that have been supported through this redistribution, including
funding amounts for each commitment?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
