Federal Education Minister, the Hon Simon Crean MP, met with Prof Jack Keating, Education Foundation’s Thought Leader, and FYA’s Dr Lucas Walsh last Friday 9 July, to discuss the Government’s ongoing Review of Funding for Schooling and how Education Foundation’s new proposal, Resourcing Schools in Australia, can contribute to this process.
Prof Keating and Dr Walsh also spent time with the expert panel leading the review to talk in detail about how Education Foundation’s proposed funding model could help to overcome problems with Australia’s current parallel funding systems and make school resourcing fairer and more transparent.
Minister Crean recently released the final Terms of Reference for the review, which is the first comprehensive Government review of school funding in over 30 years. Since being released on 1 July, Education Foundation’s report has already made a major impact on the school funding debate with national media coverage and briefings taking place with key governement representatives and education sector authoriaties.
