It’s hard to celebrate public schools gaining full funding. Its hard because kids now in kindergarten must wait till Year 10 before their education is fully supported. Its also hard when most private schools remain overfunded. Its hard to celebrate inequality. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/mar/04/nsw-public-schools-to-be-fully-funded-by-2034-leaving-queensland-as-only-state-outside-deal?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

You cant begrudge a parents decision of trying to do the 'best' by their child. But that single decision makes it more likely that the other kids on their street or their grandchildren will go without a proper education.
Mine go to state.
Private schools have excessive funds while public schools have insufficient...so change the bloody payments!
This sort of shit just shows how inept and corrupt our institutions are. Too many "special" folk.
Every child regardless of their socioeconomic background is deserving of a quality education.

But not all kids do. Every kid deserves the best we can give them no matter how poor they are.
Adding value.
State school kids outperform once in university for example.
But they still get abused by conservative media & politicians. 🤬
Of them scholarships. Proof
Will we change? Unlikely.
Inequality is not an accident it is an economic policy setting.
It’s all right there in the names: Public school (for everyone) and Private school for the rich elites. They don’t deserve our tax dollars.
The inequality is always stark. Public schools struggle for money every day. Private schools have swimming pools & tennis courts paid by taxpayers!
It stinks.
