The Federal government has announced a $4.6 billion deal with Catholic and independent school system last week.

State and territory governments will use the deal to argue funding agreements in the public sector, with Gonski 2.0 being reviewed.

This has prompted state education ministers to debate concessions with the $23.5 billion deal agreed on in 2017.  The scheme insists that 75% of public school resources are raised by 2023.

Arguments regarding extra funding for early childhood services will be considered, with concern being raised by ministers regarding the equity of school funding,
