AEU members are asking community members and parliamentarians to support an ‘extra’ $1500 per student….

…but where is this money coming from??

The bottom line:
This proposal would see every non-government school ‘on average’ lose federal funding of $3200 per student.

However, given that some schools dont even get $3000 per student, some schools will have to actually lose more to make up the total to achieve an ‘average’ outcome.

Essentially it would mean some non-government schools getting no federal funding at all and many schools, including Catholic systemic schools losing closer to $3500-$4000 per student.

This is an extraordinary attack on the non-government school sector.
