Title
Australian Education Amendment Bill 2017 - in Committee- Australian Education Amendment Bill 2017 - in Committee - Setting SES
Description
-
- The majority voted in favour of keeping [items 3, 41 and 42](https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;db=LEGISLATION;id=legislation%2Fbills%2Fr5866_aspassed%2F0001;query=Id%3A%22legislation%2Fbills%2Fr5866_aspassed%2F0000%22;rec=0) of the bill unchanged. This vote took place after Victorian Senator [Jacinta Collins](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/victoria/jacinta_collins) (Labor) introduced an [amendment](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2017-06-22.235.1) to oppose those items. In explaining her reasoning, [she said that](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2017-06-22.235.1):
> *These amendments deal with retaining the minister's ability to set SES for a group of schools and maintaining the existing primary capacity-to-contribute curve. We have canvassed this issue several times already during the debate on this bill, so I will attempt to cover a range of key points fairly quickly to reinforce the discussion that has already occurred. Because the SES scores do not seem to accurately assess the ability of school communities to pay fees and changes to the primary capacity-to-contribute curve, many low-fee systemic schools and indeed catholic schools will be hard hit. The government's bill assumes that primary parents are able to contribute more to fees than is currently the case.*- > *These amendments deal with retaining the minister's ability to set SES for a group of schools and maintaining the existing primary capacity-to-contribute curve.
