In Finland no school is run as a business and every school is treated equally unlike these elitist scammers who expect the tax payers to underwrite them and their crooked businesses.

lol...

every FINISH SCHOOL IS RUN AS A BUSINESS.

you get so much wrong it is truly remarkable.

They are all run as public schools funded by the tax payer. The emphasis is on equality and not discrimination which is how it works here.

Why do you continue to write so much sh.t on these forums.

and each of the schools is AUTONOMOUS in operation- exactly like a private school. in other words, the methodology of private schools is what is succeeding, not who owns them.

Autonomous yes, but still a public school which does not discriminate against parents who could not afford to send their kids to a private school in Australia !!

The setup is totally different but the results speak for themselves unlike the private school ripoffs in this country designed to divide the country and offer education only to the elite who can afford it. That can never be successful and it isn't !!

Finland has a 23% VAT (GST).

AUST should increase the GST to 23% and use the extra cash to fund public education & hospitals.

Why should ALL children not receive tax subsidies for their schooling?
Why would you not give it to children who go to private schools?

Are you therefore not discriminating against those of us who pay to go to school?

Yet again, your points seems to be one based upon anger and envy as usual.

Er, with the small exception that they do not have the incentive of profit.

And that they receive funding based on their students' inabilities and social disadvantage - the poorer their students, the more money they receive.

Apart from that, yes. A very private system.

the complete point, you drone, is that by being autonomous they can actrually provide a proper education without being sullied by idiotic education department rules and education union left-wing bias. Just as the experiment found in australia, autonomous schools give greater results than controlled public ones.

You've struggled all your life.

You can be working class and attend a fee paying school.
They are not mutually exclusive.

Why should schools be run as a business enterprise and then expect corporate welfare from the tax payer ??

And no, my posts are based on the successful education system in Finland where there are NO private school ripoff merchants stealing away money from the public education system !! Just compare the results between your private education ripoffs and the public system in Finland Wink

So why not get rid of the private school ripoffs and run the system exactly like Finland ??
