How will non government schools receive their funding?
In 2010-11 funding for non-government schools will continue to be delivered to individual schools under separate funding agreements. However, from 2011-12 onwards it is proposed that this aspect will be undertaken by Block Grant Authorities. This approach is consistent with that applied by the Government to other funding programs in the non-government education sector. Successful non-government schools in the 2010-11 funding round will receive their funding once an agreement has been put in place between the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency and the individual schools. After the school’s Funding Agreement has been countersigned, schools can choose to enter into an agreement with the commercial operator.
