Schooling Resource Standard (SRS)

The Schooling Resource Standard (SRS) is a government funding model that determines how much money individual schools receive based on the number and needs of their students. It ensures equitable funding, meaning schools with more students or students requiring additional support get more resources. The goal is to provide each student with a consistent standard of quality education, regardless of their school’s location or socioeconomic background. In essence, SRS helps allocate funding fairly to support effective teaching, student learning, and resource availability across all schools.
