I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
Although budget allocations for 2016–17
have not yet been finalised, it is expected that the Department of Education's
budget allocations to primary and secondary services in the budget papers will
be broken down as follows, based on historical patterns: approximately 75 per cent
of the department's budget will be allocated directly to schools; and
approximately 25 per cent will be spent centrally, of which five per cent is
for the operation of central and regional offices and 20 per cent is spent on
behalf of schools for items such as school maintenance, teacher housing and
insurance.
