A report has found funding for independent and Catholic schools is three times the amount that Public schools are receiving.

 

The report found that whilst the Government had increased funding to public schools in Queensland by $479 per student, the Queensland Government had actually reduced the funding to public schools to $144 per student.

 

Public Education lobby group, Save Our Schools, published the findings from 2009-2016 to show that the funding for public schools were cut across all states and territories except Queensland and Tasmania.
