Under the Australian Education Act 2013 (the Act), the Board is required to conduct an annual review of state and territory compliance with section 22A of the Act.
Section 22A of the Act states that as a condition of Commonwealth financial assistance, states and territories are required to meet minimum school funding contributions. These are set out in their Bilateral Agreements with the Commonwealth under the National School Reform Agreement.
The terms of reference for the review ask the Board to take into account:
- the terms of Bilateral Agreements with individual jurisdictions under the National School Reform Agreement
- mitigating and contributing factors that have contributed to any non-compliance, and
- timing of state budget processes and impact on compliance and reporting arrangements.
