Summary Note
"[F]ollowing the 2013 federal election, and despite promises of a 'unity ticket' on education policy, the Abbott Government has begun to effectively unpick the overwhelming consensus built during the Gonski Review and NPSI negotiations. Although for the first four years funding will remain as set out under the Australian Education Act 2013, after 2017 funding will be indexed to 'CPI plus enrolment growth'. By the Abbott Government's own projections, this will result in a $30 billion cut to the education sector over the medium term. Such significant cuts jeopardise the widespread improvements in student outcomes that were to flow from a strategically funded needs-based model. As a result, the quality of education provided to those Australian school children most in need of additional support will remain inferior, and we will continue to fail to realise the full potential of our latent human capital ... It is the committee's view that without the Gonski Review, without the NPSI [National Plan for School Improvement] negotiations with states and territories, and without the passage of the Australian Education Act 2013, there would not be a national needs-based school funding model in Australia. The committee submits that, under the Abbott Government's arrangements, a needs-based funding model will last for a mere four years. After that, amendments to the Australian Education Act 2013 and the low level indexation of funding post-2017 will mean that schools and the students they support cannot rely on adequate funding. This in turn will lead to inferior results for those students most in need and will further exacerbate the widening gap of educational achievement. The committee's eight recommendations aim to ameliorate the grim future for school funding in Australia." - p. xii, xiii
