My School to reveal wealthy families' public preference

THE revamped My School website is expected to reveal that children from wealthy families are more likely to attend a public school than be educated in the private sector.
Geoff Newcombe, the executive director of the Association of Independent Schools NSW, said the new site, which will be launched tomorrow morning, would show that independent schools received more funding per student than government schools.
But it would also show a greater proportion of wealthy parents sent their children to public schools. ''There are more wealthy families attending government schools than independent schools,'' Dr Newcombe said.
''This is going to raise the issue as to how long as a community can we continue to offer free education to those who can afford to contribute to the education of their children.''
Dr Newcombe said he was confident earlier problems with the website's reporting of financial data for private schools had been ''sorted out''.
Concerns about the inaccuracy of data delayed the site's launch, originally scheduled for late last year. The accounting firm Deloitte identified accounting errors, forcing the federal Minister for Education, Peter Garrett, to concede in November that the financial data for some private schools was inaccurate.
Dr Newcombe said the new financial data did not take into account ''the running of Saturday sport, extracurricular activities and longer running hours between 7am to 7pm'' at independent schools.
Mr Garrett will officially launch the new My School website at 10am tomorrow, but it remains uncertain whether it will ''go live'' earlier in the morning.
The Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority will carry out tests on the website from midnight until it is confident that the launch will run smoothly.
The president of the NSW Secondary Principals Council, Christine Cawsey, said she had received few complaints from high school principals, who were yesterday given a preview of their school's data on the website.
''There don't seem to be too many surprises,'' Ms Cawsey said.
The Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, has predicted that financial information from the nation's 9500 schools on the website will ''smash'' public perceptions on education.
''I think we'll see some schools with very similar resources, very similar kids, and very different results, and that's going to be about the quality of practice in that school,'' Ms Gillard said.
''I think we'll also see some schools [with] similar kids, very different resourcing levels, very different results, and that's going to tell us something about the power of the money.''
