Managing Resources
Update me
This consultation has concluded.
Each year we invest more than $9 billion in NSW public schools. Making sure every dollar is used wisely to get the best outcomes for students and to promote quality teaching in all our schools is vital. This means we need decisions about how that money is spent being made by the right people, with the right skills, and having an obligation to show what was achieved.
NSW public schools currently control a small proportion of the total education budget compared with other high performing education systems around the world.
To achieve better student outcomes we need changes so that:
- Schools directly manage an increased percentage of the total education budget, including the budget for school-based staff.
- Funding allocation to schools reflect the complexity of the school and its students.
- Schools have the flexibility to respond to student needs by managing a single overall budget rather than many small program budgets.
