## NSW Independent and Catholic schools set to receive extra $790m

28/10/13

Independent and Catholic schools in NSW are set to receive an additional $790 million in funding between 2014 and 2019 as a result of the National Education Reform Agreement, signed between the NSW Government and the former Prime Minister Julia Gillard.

The [Sydney Morning Herald](http://www.smh.com.au/national/education/790-million-boost-for-catholic-and-independent-schools-20131029-2wdxu.html) reported the State Government would amend the NSW *Education Act* to reflect the agreement.

“Funding to non-government schools will continue, but will be delivered according to an improved needs-based system, rather than being tied to the cost of education government school children,”  the NSW Education Minister Adrian Piccoli said.

Public schools are set to receive an additional $4.2 billion in funding over the six years of the Gonski agreement where funding increases over time.
