​Education Funding System Review

Picture

Picture
There are three key components that lie at the heart of the proposed seven points for change. These are:
  • a standard per child funding amount tailored to the learning expectations of children and young people at each stage of their education journey, rather than based on their age and year level
  • an additional funding amount for children and young people most at risk of educational under-achievement to replace the current decile-based system for both early childhood education services and schooling.
  • supplementary funding to support a network of smaller and isolated early childhood education services and schools.

The Q & A panel (hosted by Greg Boyed) discuss the funding system proposals as presented by the minister to best incentivise and prioritise governance and leadership challenges. (Click on the image to view the panel discussion).

Principals join criticism of funding proposal - mainly point 4 - global funding - out of the 7 points proposed
Point 4 states:
Establishing a global budget for delivering teaching and learning in all schools. This has the potential to increase flexibility in schools’ use of funding while simplifying funding arrangements.

​
The Secondary Principals Association, Principals Federation and the Association of Intermediate and Middle Schooling have told RNZ they either oppose the global budget proposal or do not see the point of it. Click on the image to the left to read the full article.
