Want to help fund a child’s education? A 529 plan is a powerful way to contribute tax-free. Individuals can give up to $19K per student annually without gift tax concerns—or use a five-year lump sum strategy for larger contributions. Just be sure to coordinate with parents and understand financial aid impacts beforehand!

Australia continues to underinvest in public education compared to other developed nations, while prioritising funding for private schools and higher education. In fact, the country is seen as a 'lone wolf,' spending more on private schools than the global average, according to the latest global education report from a major intergovernmental organisation.

The Sydney Morning Herald · ‘Lone wolf’: Australia spending more on private schools than global averageBy Noel Towell, Alex Crowe

In Australia, we've unfortunately copied much of the American blueprint when it comes to education. Our private schools are now better funded by the federal government by a factor of three to one compared to public schools. This has created a widening gap in access to quality education, where private schools thrive while public schools struggle with underfunding. If all students, regardless of their background, attended the same schools, we'd see a fairer distribution of resources and opportunities, preventing the deepening divide that exists today.
