States are accusing the federal government of shortchanging students as they seek a 5 per cent increase in school funding from the Commonwealth.
States are demanding an extra $12 billion from the federal government in public schools funding over the next decade as education ministers vow not to back down from a united front against a Commonwealth they are accusing of shortchanging students.
“While the states do the heavy lifting when it comes to public schools, the Commonwealth is intent on shortchanging Australian kids,” Carroll said. However, Carroll said the proposals were “instead burdening our teachers with more reporting and less time to spend with kids”.“The Commonwealth has the opportunity to either step up or risk shortchanging NSW schoolchildren,” she said.
