Queensland signs new school funding deal

Victoria is the only remaining state not to sign up to a new national school funding agreement with the Commonwealth.

Queensland has signed up to a new national school funding agreement, leaving Victoria as the only jurisdiction holding out on the deal with the Commonwealth.

Most of the states and territories have signed onto the national school reform agreement in the past seven days.

"Every other state and territory has accepted our record school funding and committed to implementing reforms that will improve student outcomes," Federal Education Minister Dan Tehan said on Thursday.

"We want to make sure that our record funding flows to all schools in Victoria. Every Victorian student deserves our record funding."
