The Federal Budget has cut the reward payments payable to primary and secondary schools under the proposed Reward for School Improvement program.

 

Reward payments will decrease from $75,000 to $50,000 for primary schools and from $100,000 to $75,000 for secondary schools. The number of schools receiving payments is unchanged.

 

The Rewards for School Improvement Program will provide payments to schools that have shown the most improved performance over 12 months, based on the proposed National School Improvement Framework.
