Literacy and Numeracy Rewards Funding
June 30, 2011
School Education Minister Peter Garrett announced today that "Australian students will benefit from over $138 million in Commonwealth reward funding for meeting targets under the Smarter Schools National Partnership for Literacy and Numeracy". Up to $540 million in funding will be provided "over four years under the National Partnership for Literacy and Numeracy, including up to $350 million in reward payments in 2010-11 and 2011-12".
"The Partnership focuses on improving literacy and numeracy, building stronger school leadership, and using performance information to identify where students need support. Schools have used the Partnership funding to invest in a range of innovative teaching programs, such as employing literacy and numeracy coaches, delivering personalised learning plans for disadvantaged and Indigenous students, and targeted home reading programs".
