公立学校的筹资比澳洲私立学校的筹资增长更快, 但学生成绩并没有显著改善。 Public school funding rose faster than private school funding in Australia, yet student outcomes haven't improved significantly.

最近一份生产力委员会的报告发现,在过去十年中,澳大利亚公立学校的筹资增长快于私立学校的筹资增长,公立学校的人均学生实际增长率为27%,而非政府学校的人均实际增长率为25%。 A recent Productivity Commission report finds Australia's public school funding grew faster than private school funding over the past decade, with government schools seeing a 27% real per-student increase compared to 25% for non-government schools. 尽管支出增加,学生成绩没有显著改善,大约五分之一的学生仍然低于国际识字和算术基准。 Despite higher spending, student outcomes have not improved significantly, with about one in five students still below international literacy and numeracy benchmarks. 公立学校学生的比例略有下降,表明资金的增加没有恢复家长的信心。 The share of students in public schools declined slightly, indicating funding increases haven't restored parental confidence. 现在有两党的共识,即重点必须从增加资金转向对早期识字和算术、循证教师培训和改善课堂行为管理进行更明智的投资,以推动有意义的教育进步。 There is now bipartisan agreement that the focus must shift from increasing funding to smarter investments in early literacy and numeracy, evidence-based teacher training, and improved classroom behavior management to drive meaningful educational progress.
