Title The fantasy of Gonski funding : the ongoing battle over school funding / Blaise Joseph. [ElectronicResource]
Published Sydney : Centre for Independent Studies, 2017.

Series CIS research report ; 26.
Summary Note The author argues: "There are several fundamental issues with the Gonski Report which mean that future school funding agreements should not be based on the report, including: an assumption that much higher funding for schools with disadvantaged students would improve their results; an assumption that universal free public schooling should be continued; and the school funding formula being based on outdated data ... There are viable alternative school funding arrangements for governments to consider. Transferring all school policy and funding responsibilities to the states (as recommended by the National Commission of Audit in 2014) would allow states to have school funding arrangements more appropriate for local needs, and the federal government would be able to avoid continual arguments with the states regarding allocation of school funding. School vouchers — a way of funding schools that gives parents a voucher for each child which they can spend on any school they choose — would be a simple, transparent, and fair funding model if implemented at a state level. Charter schools —government funded but privately managed schools — if implemented at a state level, have the potential to significantly help disadvantaged students without substantial increases in government funding." - p. 1.
