The Federal Government announced to provide an extra $2 billion for schools whose students are falling behind in literacy and numeracy testing.

Education Minister Julia Gillard on Sunday revealed $11 million will be shared by 110 schools with poor Math and English results to help them improve academically.

The funding will be distributed based on the data on the controversial MySchool website, she adds.

Schools on the website are ranked on the grounds of students' results from the National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) tests.

The site aims to enable parents have access more information about school performance thereby enabling them comparing each school with the national average and with statistically similar schools.

The money is additional to the government's $2.5 billion Smarter Schools National Partnerships program, which includes $540 million to improve student literacy and numeracy and $1.5 billion over seven years to 2014-15 for low socio-economic schools.

NSW Premier Kristina Keneally encouraged the My School website praising it for throwing light on which schools needed more assistance.

"One of the great benefits of the My School website is the transparency it provides for governments and the community," she said.

It is reported that it plans to expand the website to include other aspects of school life, such as classroom bullying and innovation.
