Education revolution falls at the first hurdle


It has always been hard to ignore the fact that federal government funding of non–government schools comes at the expense of our public schools and the new My School financial info confirms this. Take two Lismore high schools with the same postcode – one receives a grand total of $6,917 in federal funding per student and the other receives $1,467 per student from the same source. No prize for guessing which is the public secondary school with a higher number of disadvantaged students and which is the school backed by a wealthy religious organisation.
