“It’s a system for the haves and a system for the have-nots,” he says. “And that’s only going to reinforce inequality.”

‘ Nationally, Australia is an international laggard on education equality among our peers — we are 30th out of 38 OECD countries when it comes to fairly funded high schools, a 2018 UNICEF report found. So what went wrong? Gonski’s landmark reforms were watered down when the Gillard government promised Catholic and private schools they wouldn’t lose a dime, The Guardian explains. Then the Abbott government scrapped the 2017-18 public school funding boost. Then the Turnbull government created a 20% funding cap for public schools, leaving state governments to foot the bill. They didn’t. For private schools, the cap was reversed.’
