Public vs Private School funding

[Carn The Berries]

Is there a breakdown of how much the said private schools are getting say compared to a government in total per student between State and Federal? And which schools? Like there are many private schools for disabilities etc

Yes - It's not the actual amounts per se, but it shows what each non-government school's CTC score is (Capacity to Contribute). This is calculated using tax return data from the addresses of enrolled students (DMI - Direct Measure of Income)

There is a sliding scale of funding linked to the CTC scores. Schools with lower CTC scores can receive up to 100% of the Student Resource Standard (SRS) each year. Funding is capped at a minimum of 20% of SRS for high CTC scores (generally the more affluent non-government schools).

What would Scotch receive say compared to the average public school of the same size

What would Scotch receive say compared to the average public school of the same size

They'd receive about 20% of what the public school would (assuming that the state school receives 100% of its allocation, which isn't always the case).

Ok, well sounds like a great win for the state. Top education at potentially 20% of the price.
