Public school funding rose faster than private school funding in Australia, yet student outcomes haven't improved significantly.
A recent Productivity Commission report finds Australia's public school funding grew faster than private school funding over the past decade, with government schools seeing a 27% real per-student increase compared to 25% for non-government schools.
Despite higher spending, student outcomes have not improved significantly, with about one in five students still below international literacy and numeracy benchmarks.
The share of students in public schools declined slightly, indicating funding increases haven't restored parental confidence.
There is now bipartisan agreement that the focus must shift from increasing funding to smarter investments in early literacy and numeracy, evidence-based teacher training, and improved classroom behavior management to drive meaningful educational progress.
La financiación de las escuelas públicas aumentó más rápido que la financiación de las escuelas privadas en Australia, sin embargo, los resultados de los estudiantes no han mejorado significativamente.
