Teachers and students deserve better than technocratic tinkering
The Greens say a proposal by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership to parachute inexperienced staff into classrooms and give pay rises to a mere handful of teachers is an insult to hard-working educators across the country and will do very little to address teacher shortages.
Comments attributable to Greens spokesperson on schools, Senator Penny Allman-Payne:
“Targeted incentive schemes are just technocratic tinkering that does nothing to fix the underlying problem with our public schools.
