Exactly.. max funding into the public system may not necessarily end up being the maximum funding per public school student. That’s the circle the system needs to square.

When was the last time the public school system was adequately funded? When was the last time the public school system put their hand up and said “That’s too much. Here ya go, have some of it back”. (Same with the public hospital system)

These public systems will never be “adequately funded” because they will always spend the lot.

So rather than just relying on the feedback of the school and hospital admin, we have benchmarks. Are waiting times for surgeries over 8 months? Are 25% of the students in demountable buildings without proper aircon? Are we falling behind the standards of care and education provision expected in other developed nations?
