However donors still cannot contribute more than $5‚200 to a single candidate per election‚ but without the overall caps‚ those

Government Funding in Schools In Australia we have two types of schools‚ you have the government schools and the non-government schools. In 2005 33% of all students were in non-government schools. In anyone’s terms the number of students in non-government schools are quite significant‚ this may help to explain why the ‘public versus private’ debate is not as hotly debated as it was in the 60s or even in the 80s. Non-government schools have now become major providers of education to Australian
