Australia passes legislation to boost public school funding and improve education outcomes by 2030.

Australia has passed the Better and Fairer Schools legislation, aiming to increase public school funding by turning the 20% Commonwealth contribution into a minimum. This move addresses educational disparities, with goals to boost reading and numeracy support, enhance school attendance to 91.4%, and increase year 12 completion rates to 83.8% by 2030. Funding agreements are in place with several states, but negotiations continue with others to ensure all students benefit from these reforms.
