I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1)–(3)
The Department of Education will formally review the student-centred funding
model once all schools have had time to adjust to the new flexibilities
available through the SCFM and one-line budgets. At this time, the methodology
is yet to be determined.
The review will assess the
outcomes that were set at the commencement of the project. These include that
funding is allocated and distributed, based on the learning needs of individual
students; funding is responsive to the difference in circumstances of
individual schools and their students; there is increased flexibility for
principals regarding financial and workforce management decisions; and there is
a simple and transparent funding model.
Although a full review will be
completed in the future, in the short term, the implementation has been, and is
being, constantly monitored through feedback from principals and business
managers, the department's steering group, the principal advisory group
and the stakeholder consultative group. Where appropriate, this feedback is
used to inform refinements to the implementation of the SCFM.
(4) The findings of the formal review will be made public.
