ALMOST one in five Victorian private schools would lose money next year under the federal government's funding reforms, an independent school lobby group says.
Independent Schools Victoria says it will tell its 210 member schools the group can't recommend accepting the government's proposed funding model because the modelling is flawed.
Group chief executive Michelle Green's criticisms include that the modelling is based on 2011 information and contains inaccuracies or uses 2010 data.
It also provides no indexation and transition arrangements beyond 2014, and the federal government has indicated the model might change before coming into operation, Ms Green says.
Affected schools would include those that charge low fees, are in low socioeconomic areas, or cater for students with special needs.
"While Victorian Independent schools will gain funding in 2014, 38 will receive less than if the arrangements had stayed the same," Ms Green said in a statement on Wednesday.
"It is particularly unfortunate that schools that can least afford to lose funding are the worst affected."
Current funding arrangements should be extended for the next two years, with more time needed for open talks between federal and state governments and the independent and Catholic school sectors, Ms Green said.
Federal School Education Minister Peter Garrett has said no school will be worse off in real terms under the government's funding model.
The federal government is seeking to next week finalise a funding agreement with the states and territories that would see an extra $6.5 billion a year spent on education by 2019.
