2022 State Election
Catholic Education SA has been educating children and young people and playing a vital part in our community for over 175 years.
Funding Principles
The funding of Australia’s education system is underpinned by two distinct but related principles:
- Each child or young person is entitled to a high-quality education funded by the taxpayer.
- Families, as taxpayers, should be free to choose the school that best fits their children’s needs, and matches their own values and beliefs.
Matters of Importance for Catholic Education South Australia
As we head towards the 2022 State Election, Catholic Education South Australia has a number of matters that are of utmost importance. Catholic Schools Parents SA (CSPSA) supports Catholic Education SA in these matters.
The South Australian Commission for Catholic Schools – on behalf of the tens of thousands of families who choose our Catholic schools and centres for the education of their children – is seeking firm commitments from each political party on important matters.
These commitments are outlined below and further explained on in the State Election Backgrounder from Catholic Education South Australia.
