Funding to Schools - Updated

Summary

The Ministry provides funding for schools by way of operational funding, salary funding for teachers, and property funding.

Operational funding is the financial resources received by Boards of Trustees from the Government for running the day to day operations of schools. Salary funding is defined as gross salaries paid by the government to teachers employed in schools. Property funding is the funding paid directly to schools for the purposes of building or purchasing school properties.

The time series summary on rolls which is used in the calculation of funding to schools is also available. They are based on July roll return for primary schooling years (years 1 to 8) and March roll return for secondary schooling years (years 9 to 13 plus).

The spreadsheets below contain the time series (1999-2009) on funding provided to schools and funded places.
