New figures have revealed almost six hundred of Queensland’s most crowded schools enrol students who live outside of the catchment area despite having enrolment management plans.
Enrolment management plans ensure students get access to nearby schools by restricting out-of-catchment enrolments once a school passes eighty percent capacity.
LNP education spokesman Dr. Christian Rowan says the Labour government should be transparent about why so many enrolments at crowded schools are out of catchment and how this impacts students in catchment areas.
Education Minister Grace Grace says families who live in the catchment zone initially may move homes while the student is still enrolled.
