Demanding a fair funding system for Public Education
Sign Now
The petition of certain citizens of Australia draws to the attention of the Senate.
For over 150 years our country has been served by a comprehensive and inclusive system of public education. Public education has contributed to successful lives and democratic social development in an Australia which is highly skilled and economically strong. It has built our national identity and democratic traditions and given the capacity for active citizenship to the Australian people.
All of this has been possible only because the system has enjoyed public confidence and public investment. At this time both are under threat. Public confidence has been undermined by divisive attacks and public investment has been distorted by an unfair system of federal funding which favours an already well-off minority to the detriment of those in genuine need.
We therefore call on all Senators to condemn these unjust attacks, and to:
accept national responsibility to provide priority in funding to public schools to enable them to continue to provide high quality education to all, regardless of wealth, location, ethnicity, religion or special needs; and,
replace the current unfair SES funding model with a new Commonwealth and State system which provides enhanced educational resources to schools allocated on the basis of educational need and which ends public funding to wealthy schools which are already well resourced.
