Recent research conducted by Catholic Schools NSW (CSNSW) confirms the significant amount of money taxpayers save due to government support for parental school choice.
Published on 14th March, it reveals that non-government schools save taxpayers at least $4.59 billion each year in recurrent funding. Catholic schools in NSW alone represent a $500 million annual saving for taxpayers.
It also shows that if all government and non-government schools received their full funding entitlement under the Australian Education Act 2013, savings to taxpayers would be $6.31 billion each year in recurrent funding.
These savings include $2.04 billion for primary students and $4.27 billion for secondary students. Catholic schools make up $2.96 billion of the total amount saved, and Independent schools $3.35 billion.
