澳大利亚所有州和地区的公立学校现已纳入联邦教育经费协议框架，维多利亚州上周完成最后签署，标志着这一全国性协议覆盖达到100%。1根据这些协议，所有公立学校计划在2034年前达到所需基准经费的100%。1
然而，经费到位的进度因州而异。1新南威尔士州、昆士兰州和南澳大利亚州的学生需要等待至2034年才能获得完全资金支持，这意味着将有两代学生在经费不足的教育系统中完成学业。1相比之下，澳大利亚首都地区、西澳大利亚州和塔斯马尼亚州已经实现全额经费。1维多利亚州目前资助学校70.43%的基准经费，计划在2031年前提升至75%。1
这一协议的资金结构为联邦政府提供25%，各州提供75%，北领地采用40-60的分配方式。1未来十年，联邦政府将额外投入约160亿澳元，之后十年增至约500亿澳元。1教育部长杰森·克莱尔指出，过去15年间，来自贫富家庭的8岁儿童阅读能力差距已经翻倍，到9年级时，受过高等教育父母的学生比父母未完成学业学生早完成学业6年8个月。1
Every Australian public school system has secured a long-term federal education funding agreement, with Victoria becoming the final state to sign on last week 1. These agreements commit all public schools to reach 100% of their needs-based funding benchmark by 2034 1.
Under the funding arrangements, the federal government will contribute 25% of education costs, with states providing 75% of funding, except in the Northern Territory where the split is 40-60 1. Over the next decade, the federal government will provide approximately $16 billion in additional funding, followed by around $50 billion in the subsequent ten years 1. However, the benefits of full funding will not arrive equally across the country. New South Wales, Queensland, and South Australia must wait until 2034 to achieve complete funding for their students, meaning two generations of students will complete their schooling in under-resourced systems 1. In contrast, the Australian Capital Territory, Western Australia, and Tasmania are already at full funding levels 1. Victoria currently funds 70.43% of its schools' needs and will increase this to 75% by 2031 1.
Education Minister Jason Clare highlighted the urgency of closing educational gaps, noting that over the past 15 years, the reading gap between eight-year-olds from wealthy and disadvantaged families has doubled 1. By ninth grade, students with parents who have completed higher education are approximately six years and eight months ahead of their peers whose parents did not complete secondary education 1.
