National Teacher Workforce Action Plan
Responses have now closed.
From education.gov.au:
The Draft National Teacher Workforce Action Plan (Plan) has been developed to address teacher shortages by helping to attract and retain more people in the teaching profession.
The Plan includes 28 actions across six priority areas:
Elevating the profession
Improving teacher supply
Strengthening initial teacher education
Maximising the time to teach
Better understanding future teacher workforce needs
Better career pathways to support and retain teachers in the profession
The current draft of the plan does not address the impact COVID has had on the workforce, or ways it will impact it in the future.
