3599 - NESA FUNDING MODEL

Donato, Philip to the Deputy Premier, Minister for Education and Early Learning, and Minister for Western Sydney
NESA FUNDING MODEL

(1) Why is funding NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) part of the New South Wales' public schools budget when NESA services are accessed by schools across all sectors?

(2) Does the Government have a plan to rectify this so the cost of running NESA is counted separately to public school funding?
Answer -

The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) is an independent statutory authority under the Education Standards Authority Act 2013. Funding for NESA is determined through the annual State Budget process. The Department of Education and NESA are separate agencies and as such, the cost of running NESA is separately identified in the NSW Budget.
