States are in a better position to deliver education, says Queensland Minister - The Australian

FEDERAL schools funding should be distributed as general revenue to the states and territories based on their population under a radical decentralisation of education, which was outlined by the Queensland government yesterday.

At a conference of state school principals in Brisbane yesterday, Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek told the federal government to "give up on Gonski" and quit meddling in education policy, which was the domain of the states and territories.
