    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the concept of abolition on schools that are governed by bureaucrats or by the government in Australia. It highlights the case for government funding on schools that may influence the learning of students. It also stresses the conflict of interests on having a school regulator that is also the main provider of the education being regulated as manifested by the failure to provide clear and public indicators of the literacy and numeracy performance of students.
