ON EDCUATION
AS SHOWN IN TABLE ALMSOST TWO-THIRDS (65.2 PER CENT) OF AUSTRALIAN SCHOOL
STUDENTS IN 2013 WERE ENROLLED IN GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS, APPROXIMATELY ONE-
FIFTH (20.5 PER CENT) OF STUDENTS WERE ENROLLED IN CATHOLIC SCHOOLS AND
THE REMAINDER (14.3 PER CENT) ATTENDED INDEPENDENT SCHOOL.
 THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT PROVIDES
FUNDING FOR ALL SCHOOLS, BOTH
GOVERNMENT AND NON-GOVERNMENT.

 Over the next 10 years (2018-2027) and relative to

the 2016-17 Federal Budget settings, the Government
will invest an additional $24.5 billion in recurrent
funding for Australian schools. This brings total
Commonwealth recurrent investment to $243.5 billion
for the same period. Recurrent funding for
government schools will grow by 56.6 per cent from
2017, with total funding of $102.1 billion from 2018 to
2027. For non-government schools funding will grow
by 55.6 per cent from 2017, with total funding of
$141.4 billion from 2018 to 2027.
 CONCLUSION

 Australia is a country with 23 million people. The mass of

land is greater than India. India has a population of 1.2
billion. Looking at per capita income, Australia's per capita
income amounts to 55000, while India's per capita income
is in low tens. Both countries are therefore different in
terms of pedagogy and their need for both countries.
 
 Education expenditure offers an external benefit to the
rest of the economy, which can have long - term effects
compared to the often short - term interest rate
reductions. Public expenditure can be aimed at achieving a
wide range of specific economic goals, such as reducing
unemployment, achieving more equity, building roads,
combating poverty and rebuilding city centres.
