Thread: An interesting move reflective of the teacher shortage.

Victoria is currently advertising for teachers to fulfil their plan for another year of free education pre kindergarten, unusually this advertising is on prime time TV with significant incentives for teachers to move interstate - from 9 to 50K in some cases

Early childhood teachers and educators | Victorian Government

Given that NSW and Victoria are such close buddies these days it's hard to see how NSW wouldn't be offering similar incentives in the near future (or risk losing every teacher in Albury and along the river)

Very interesting times given a 4 year delay between deciding to recruit a new teacher and training them to be usable.

SWMBO who currently resides in NSW and works in a very dispirited ACT system is watching with interest

Regards,
Tote

The $$$$$ on offer to move is going to see a bidding war which is great for some and a shocker for many impacted by the losses of wonderful people. Many teachers should be justifiably happy to see finally the recognition and reward for many of our wonderful teachers.

Noting just a few teachers I had were really average. Just one or two Hold that signature on the contract as the first offer may not be the last??
