Public secondary colleges in the Australian Capital Territory are facing a combined $4 million in budget cuts for 2027. The ACT government is redistributing public school funding under the goal of achieving a fairer mix across schools and colleges. The ACT Education Directorate reduced the per-student funding weighting for colleges and shifted that money toward primary schools. Eighteen schools will see funding fall by more than 5 percent, while 31 may receive increases of more than 5 percent.
