Pyne is obviously delusional in his approach to school funding!
Can't wait until the next election to see these clowns tossed on their heads.....
"Despite dumping the Gonski reforms, Pyne maintains he supports a needs-based funding model. "The principle of a needs-based funding system, where disadvantaged students get more money, is a good principle and that was the same principle of the previous socio-economic status [SES] funding model. It was called socio-economic status, because funding got to where it was most needed."
But it didn't get to government schools, because under the existing arrangement the Commonwealth largely funds private schools and the states fund public schools.
As NSW Education Minister Adrian Piccoli said last week: "He [Pyne] must be the only person in Australia who thinks the SES model is a good model. The Gonski panel said no. If you walked into any school in NSW, every teacher and principal would say no."
