The Federal Government has received a mixed response from the states and teachers unions to its new schools plan.


The plan includes additional support for students from low socio-economic backgrounds, those with a disability and those from non-English-speaking backgrounds.

It also includes extra support for smaller rural and regional remote schools.

Education Minister Simon Birmingham says the national needs-based funding model will get rid of multiple school-funding agreements struck under the Labor Government.
