Abstract

Much has been said about David Gonski’s second review of school funding in Australia. It is a document made up 46,327 words aimed at advising the Australian Government on how school funding can be used to improve student achievement and school performance.

Within those 46,327 words in the 150‐page document, Through Growth to Achievement: Report of the Review to Achieve Educational Excellence in Australian Schools, the term ‘Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ‘ is only used 10 times. This is less than 0.1% of the total focus within the entire document.

KeywordsGonski 2.0; cross curriculum priority ; school funding
ANZSRC Field of Research 2020450299. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education not elsewhere classified
