Gonski (education funding reform)

Gonski refers to a significant education funding reform in Australia, initiated by the Gonski Report in 2011. It aims to create a more equitable education system by ensuring that funding is allocated based on student needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. This means schools receive additional resources for disadvantaged students, including those from low-income families or with disabilities. The reform promotes fairness, helping to improve educational outcomes for all students, especially those who may face barriers to learning. Ultimately, it strives for a more balanced distribution of educational opportunities across the country.
