Last Wednesday, the Premier John Brumby, announced a new funding agreement moving funding from 19% to 22% of the cost of education of students in Victorian Government schools during the next four years.
The increase is about $250 per student annually. Last year our parents strongly campaigned that the Victorian Government lift funding to 25% of the cost of a student in a government school. The increase granted is very welcome and gives us the opportunity to provide more for our students.
Currently, Catholic schools teach 22% of Victorian students.
