Funding for students with disabilities
(Question No 1053)
Mr Pratt asked the Minister for Education, Youth and Family Services on 23 October 2003:
In relation to students with disabilities:
(1) How much funding has been provided to ACT government schools for students with disabilities;
(2) How much funding is provided to ACT non government schools for students with disabilities.
Ms Gallagher
: The answer to Mr Pratt's question is:(1) The details of funding for ACT government school students with disabilities are in the 2003-2004 Annual Report of the Department of Education, Youth and Family Services. The 2003-2004 budget estimates for expenditure for students with disabilities are in Budget Paper 4.
(2) Non-government schools are funded for the incremental cost of students with a disability taking into account the three way funding partnership - the Commonwealth, the ACT Government and parents/community. In 2002-2003 $0.7m in additional funding for students with a disability was provided by the ACT government to ACT non government schools. The 2003-2004 estimate is $0.7m. These amounts represent only the marginal increase in ACT Government grants to non government schools as a result of enrolling students with a disability.
