However, the budget did provide an increase in operating funding for private schools, most of which receive 70 per cent of the per-student funding received by public schools. Government budget estimates show that private schools, excluding early childhood services, are slated to receive nearly $295 million to operate, which would be a nearly 16 per cent increase in funding from the previous year — and a 42 per cent funding increase since 2023-24. ATA president Schilling called the larger funding increase unfair; Nicolaides said it is based on the growth in projected enrolment.

42% funding increase to private schools in one year!
