maybe the private schools should use the income they get to fund the teacher salaries, sports and extracurriculars. if they cant afford it, dont operate a school. if you want to operate as a business you should be treated like a business.That's not really fair. Private schools need funding regardless. The costs of education for students can only do so much- this being teacher salaries, sports extracurriculars etc. Government funding is essential for any school for stuff like infrastructure, resources, funding for indp. papers etc so I don't 100% agree that it should be completely axed from the latter. I think it should simply be reduced.
yall ever heard of easbrother, to get into med rurally, you need ~91atar and 70%tile... If anything, urban students are disadvantaged.
wheres the 99.5 number coming frommoving to rural areas is a really big thing bru
a rich city person isn't gonna move to a rural area just for an easier chance to get into med (usually)
rural education gives you a disadvantage, sure, however, it's way easier to be competitive for med as a rural student
the disadvantage from being rural isn't greater than the difference between a 99.5 and a 91
Unfortunately thats not how a schooling system would run as that in turn would make private school tuition infinitesimally more expensive? You do realise its a huge job to manage and fund a school right? It can't be simply treated 'like a business' because they still have to abide by government policies. Taking your logic would quite literally mean only the richest percentile of students in australia and since there aren't enough kids to fill enrolments, its a waste of a school 1. 2. It would still not guarantee if the school could function with the limited enrolments (as there is less funding).maybe the private schools should use the income they get to fund the teacher salaries, sports and extracurriculars. if they cant afford it, dont operate a school. if you want to operate as a business you should be treated like a business.
because the atar cutoff is set by the uni. what the fuck is the uni going to do to improve the quality of teaching and culture of learningits unfair to reduce atar cutoffs for uni entry bc that's just a bandaid solution. the issue at the very root is that the quality of teaching and culture of learning is very poor. why would you mitigate when you can just fix it from the bottom? less effort for govt ig bc the threshold of success is lower
Not everyone is eligible for that mate...yall ever heard of eas
my dad has to abide by government policies. hes a builder, he doesnt recieve gov funding. the vast majority have some type of government regulation they need to abide by. also i would prefer only the richest few get to go to private, while the rest get to go to well funded public schools because the funding isnt being soaked up by private schoolsUnfortunately thats not how a schooling system would run as that in turn would make private school tuition infinitesimally more expensive?

its the ranking you want to be considered for medicine.wheres the 99.5 number coming from
im saying that rural is quite similar in idea principle to EASNot everyone is eligible for that mate...
from the unsw website its a 97.15 atar. still higher than rural but i reckon its fairits the ranking you want to be considered for medicine.
if you're considering urban kids with eas, idk if the claim that they still hold a significant advantage over rural kids is valid at all {ofc, there's still an advantage assuming they're still in sydney area}, however, they prob aren't particularly well offyall ever heard of eas
im not saying people with eas have an advantage. im saying that the rural scheme is similar to eas, in that it recognises that you need to put in more effort to get a similar atar to someone w/o a disadvantageif you're considering urban kids with eas, idk if the claim that they still hold a significant advantage over rural kids is valid at all {ofc, there's still an advantage assuming they're still in sydney area}, however, they prob aren't particularly well off

"lowest ATAR (termed selection rank) to receive an offer for the 2022 medicine cohort was 97.20 (non-rural). However, it’s important to recognise this is likely due to special access schemes"from the unsw website its a 97.15 atar. still higher than rural but i reckon its fair
Bruh did you miss the part where I was talking about the funding required to maintain a school... Student fees won't pay for that. Maybe a GPS school but not the majority of private schools in the state.i dont think abiding by government policies should warrant gov funding
