Morrison announces major school-funding changes

Australia's Catholic and independent school sectors are set to benefit from multi-billion-dollar funding after the Federal Government announced changes to how it would calculate a school's wealth.

Critics say the deal represents so-called "hush money" to keep the schools from campaigning against the Government in next year's election.

Next year, independent and Catholic schools will receive more than $170 million over the calendar year.

More details will come in December during the mid-year budget review.
