Looking fwd to hearing Karen Mapp at the #PEConf17
.Dr David Zyngier’s study shows that public schools with similar ICSEA ranking or SES have very similar or better VCE results than private schools. These public schools achieve these results with far less funding per student. (On average $4000 less per student) lens.monash.edu/2018/02/01/130…
When private schools look like resorts questions about funding must be asked. There is no arms race to attract parents to public schools. Just dire need for more resources to transform lives of some of the most disadvantaged students in the state. smh.com.au/national/educa… via The Sydney Morning Herald
Labor's response to these criticisms is disingenuous. The promised millions in funding continues the massive over-funding of Catholic schools under the Howard SES model which was folded into the Gonski model smh.com.au/politics/feder… via The Sydney Morning Herald
