What are the immediate consequences of the federal government's decision to reduce funding for overfunded private schools?

The Australian federal government will reduce funding for 299 private schools nationwide, including 60 in Victoria, over the next five years. These schools, some of the nation's most expensive, received up to 40 percent more funding than entitled, leading to concerns about potential fee increases to compensate. The reductions will be phased in until 2029, reaching 80 percent of the assessed School Resourcing Standard.
