Abstract

This project was undertaken with the Department of Education & Early Childhood Development (DEECD) to examine the use of equity funding by schools. The findings of the study are based on the literature review and data analysis undertaken by DEECD, and discussions in all regions, a series of case studies and an online survey of schools receiving equity funding. The focus of this report is the investigation of how schools use equity funding and how this has contributed to improving outcomes for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
