Fix this textThe most important educational
Fix this textreform in over 40 years is under threat
Fix this textbecause of a federal government that
Fix this textis openly hostile to public schools and
Fix this textthe work they do. But we have come
Fix this texttoo far to allow this critical reform to
Fix this textbe scuttled because ofideology.
Fix this textFederation will support the Aus-
Fix this texttralian Education Union Vans to
Fix this textCanberra strategy that has begun
Fix this textand which concludes with an event
Fix this textin Canberra on March 18 in the
Fix this textlead-up to the May Budget. Par-
Fix this textticular emphasis will be placed
Fix this texton those NSW public school com-
Fix this textmunities that are included in the
Fix this textitinerary and associated events.
Fix this textMembers are encouraged to visit
Fix this textFederation’s website for updates.
Fix this textFederation also understands the
Fix this textimportance of the Senate Select
Fix this textCommittee on School Funding that
Fix this textwas recently established with the
Fix this textsupport of the ALP and the Greens.
Fix this textFederation will encourage all public
Fix this textschools throughout NSW to develop
Fix this texta short submission in support of the
Fix this textGonski funding model and calling
Fix this textfor its full implementation. A simple
Fix this textsubmission page can be found on
Fix this textthe national I Give a Gonski website
Fix this text( 'unuw.igiveagonski. com. au).
Fix this textWhy do we need to defend the
Fix this textmodel?
Fix this textThe essential elements of the
Fix this textfunding model recommended by
Fix this textthe review panel chaired by David
Fix this textGonski included an explicit School-
Fix this texting Resources Standard for all Aus-
Fix this texttralian schools which incorporated
Fix this textsix loadings that took into account
Fix this textschool profiles based on socio-eco-
Fix this textnomic status, Aboriginal enrol-
Fix this textments, English language profi-
Fix this textciency, disability, remoteness and
Fix this textschool size.
Fix this textA six-year transition model was
Fix this textproposed to enable all schools to
Fix this textbe lifted to the minimum resource
Fix this textstandard.
Fix this textThe Gonski panel recommended
Fix this textthat state and Commonwealth gov-
Fix this texternments take joint responsibility
Fix this textfor the funding the model with the
Fix this textCommonwealth taking the lead
Fix this textrole. The Federal Government was
Fix this textto contribute 65 per cent with the
Fix this textparticipating state governments
Fix this textthe remaining 35 per cent. The Fed-
Fix this texteral Government was to index its
Fix this textcontribution by 4.7 per cent, with
Fix this textparticipating state governments
Fix this textobliged to index their contribution
Fix this textby 3 per cent.
Fix this textUnder the national agreement
Fix this textreached in April 2013 between the
Fix this textNSW and Commonwealth gov-
Fix this texternments, the following addition-
Fix this textal funding should flow into NSW
Fix this textschools during the transition years.
Fix this textHowever, during the 2013 fed-
Fix this texteral election campaign, the Coali-
Fix this texttion only committed to the finan-
Fix this textcial years from 2013-14 to 2016-17.
Fix this textNo commitment was made for the
Fix this textfinal years when the bulk of the
Fix this textfunding is to be delivered.
Fix this textSince gaining office the Abbott
Fix this textGovernment has signalled that it
Fix this textintends not only to refuse to fund
Fix this textthe full transition period, but also
Fix this textto dismantle the essential architec-
Fix this textture of the Gonski funding model.
Fix this textThe Government has stated that it
Fix this textwill amend the Australian Educa-
Fix this texttion Act to remove what it labels
Fix this text‘prescriptive and control’ features
Fix this textfor states and territories. This es-
Fix this textsentially would allow any state and
Fix this textterritory government to refuse to
Fix this textcontribute its share and even allow
Fix this texta state or territory government to
Fix this textcut its education budget.
Fix this textLet us remember that prior to
Fix this textsigning up to Gonski, the O'Farrell
Fix this textGovernment designed Local
Fix this textSchools, Local Decisions to help de-
Fix this textliver the massive cuts of $1.7 billion
Fix this textto education.

Fix this textCurriculum review is
Fix this texta red herring

Fix this textSenior Vice President
Fix this textThe Australian Education Union
Fix this text(AEU) will make a submission to
Fix this textthe Review of the Australian Cur-
Fix this textriculum announced by the Federal
Fix this textGovernment.
Fix this textFederation, along with each state
Fix this textand territory branch of the AEU,
Fix this textwill contribute to the submission.
Fix this textFederal Education Minister
Fix this textChristopher Pyne’s announce-
Fix this textment of a Review of the Australian
Fix this textCurriculum in January is clearly a
Fix this texttactic to divert attention from his
Fix this textGovernment's failure to commit to
Fix this textfully fund the Gonski reforms.
Fix this textThe review was announced
Fix this textbefore NSW schools have com-
Fix this textmenced teaching the new sylla-
Fix this textbuses in English, Mathematics,
Fix this textScience and History which incor-
Fix this textporate the Australian Curriculum.
Fix this textIt is clear that the Abbott Gov-
Fix this texternment is seeking to focus on cur-
Fix this textriculum, teachers and so-called
Fix this textprincipal autonomy rather than
Fix this textaccept its responsibility, as the Gov-
Fix this texternment, to ensure that all schools
Fix this texthave the necessary resources to
Fix this textprovide all students the quality ed-
Fix this textucation they deserve.
Fix this textFormer Director-General of the
Fix this textNSW Department of Education
Fix this textand Gonski Review panel member
Fix this textDr Ken Boston wrote in the Sydney
Fix this textMorning Herald (January 17) that "if
Fix this textthere had been no Gonski Report,
Fix this textthere would be no Review of the
Fix this textAustralian Curriculum”. He argued
Fix this textcriticisms of the content and qual-
Fix this textity of the curriculum are aimed at
Fix this textdiverting attention from “the cor-
Fix this textrelation between poor student per-
Fix this textformance and aggregated social
Fix this textdisadvantage”. Dr Boston noted: "At
Fix this textpresent it is mainly the hard work-
Fix this texting and talented children of the
Fix this textprivileged who have access to the
Fix this textvery highest levels of educational
Fix this textachievement. If Gonski is imple-
Fix this textmented, such access will be avail-
Fix this textable increasingly to the similarly
Fix this texttalented children of the socially
Fix this textdisadvantaged. This is equality of
Fix this textopportunity, not equality of out-
Fix this textcomes: differences in outcomes
Fix this textwill inevitably exist between chil-
Fix this textdren but they will no longer be the
Fix this textresult of factors such as poverty, re-
Fix this textligion or sector of schooling."
Fix this textDr Jim McMorrow's recently re-
Fix this textleased report on funding has found
Fix this textthat if the Abbott Government
Fix this textfails to continue the Gonski fund-
Fix this texting reforms beyond 2017, up to 20
Fix this textper cent of public schools will be
Fix this textoperating below the Schooling Re-

Fix this textGary Zadkovich
Fix this textDeputy President
Fix this textFederal Education Minister Chris-
Fix this texttopher Pyne’s promotion of "in-

Fix this textbe seen for what it is another at-
Fix this texttempt to divert attention from his
Fix this textgovernment’s refusal to commit
Fix this textto fully implementing the Gonski
Fix this textschool funding reforms.
Fix this textHaving already tried this tactic with
Fix this texthis much criticised review of the na-
Fix this texttional curriculum, Pyne now hopes a
Fix this text$7O million spend on increasing school
Fix this textautonomy will shift public attention
Fix this textfrom the failure to pledge $2095 mil-
Fix this textlion to pay the Commonwealth’s con-
Fix this texttribution to the fifth arid sixth years of
Fix this textthe NSW Gonski agreement.
Fix this textPyne's actions underscore the
