Reported at www.theguardian.com: New South Wales has reached an agreement with the federal government to fully fund public schools by 2034, resulting in an expected injection of $4.8 billion into the education system over the next decade.

This deal raises the commonwealth’s funding contribution to 25% of the Schooling Resource Standard and coincides with similar agreements made with other states, leaving Queensland as the only state not participating.

Education Minister Jason Clare has noted that the funding is contingent on reforms aimed at improving educational outcomes and support for students.
