This is the best summary I could come up with:


Western Australia's public schools are set to be fully funded by 2026 after the federal and state governments reached a landmark agreement that could be replicated in other jurisdictions.

They will set out funding arrangements for primary and secondary schools around the country at a time the federal government is determined to reform the sector.

The level of funding for public schools has long been a source of contention amid declining academic results and teacher shortages.

The new federal funding for WA will be tied to giving teachers more resources and helping kids who've fallen behind with measures such as catch-up tutoring, Mr Clare said.

WA Education Minister Tony Buti said the agreement would drive "real improvements" for students, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Federal opposition education spokesperson Sarah Henderson said Mr Clare needed to do more to get the states to "lift their game".
