SCHOOL FEES

In reply to Mr PISONI (Unley) (30 June 2011).

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Minister for Education, Minister for Early Childhood Development, Minister for Science and Information Economy): 2011-12 Budget Paper 3—Budget Statement, page 52, provides that schools revenue will increase from $80 million in 2010-11 (Estimated Result) to $90.4 million in 2014-15.

This is outlined in the following table.

2010-11Estimated Result$m 2011-12Budget$m 2012-13Budget$m 2013-14Budget$m 2014-15Budget$m
Schools revenue 80.0 82.5 85.1 87.7 90.4
% increase compared to previous year 3.125% 3.152% 3.055% 3.079%


The increase in the budget for school revenue over the forward estimates is due to indexation.

This is a budgeted figure and the actual school revenue collected at each school will vary.
