New South Wales has signed a $4.8 billion education funding deal with the federal government, ensuring public schools receive additional support over the next decade.
The agreement aims to bring schools closer to the minimum funding levels recommended by the 2012 Gonski review. This deal follows a similar $2.5 billion agreement with Victoria, leaving Queensland as the only state yet to sign. The funding is tied to specific measures, such as phonics checks, to improve student outcomes.
The move is seen as a significant step in resolving long-standing school funding disputes ahead of the federal election.
