From all across the country, Independent schools have joined forces to hit out against Prime Minister Julia Gillard and her Gonski education reforms.
The Independent Schools Council of Australia has warned that they will not be in a position to provide adequate support to their disadvantaged students, saying that the budget highlighted a ‘significant reduction’ in money for non-government schools. They also commented on the levels of frustration from employer associations around the country, in the strength and stability of the ‘proposed models for funding distribution’.
