NSW's public school teachers and principals are walking off the job tomorrow, the first time in a decade such statewide industrial action has been taken.
Teachers Federation president Angelo Gavrielatos said staff shortages were creating unsustainable workloads. At the same time there's been a 30 per cent drop in young people entering initial teacher education and a 50 per cent drop out rate.Teachers say more resignations are inevitable due to the pressures of the job.
The action comes after 18 months of negotiations over a pay deal, and the Education Minister Sarah Mitchell said it was disappointing to see teachers going ahead with the strike while talks were underway.
They Deserve More Money. Heaps of Marking. Problem Students. Report Cards (with a balanced view 😵💫). Pushy/Aggressive/Uninterested/Boorish/Entitled Parents. Political Correctness. Preparation. Nonsensical Rules/Paperwork. Excessive Bureaucracy. For just a Few! Give ‘em a Raise!
Solidarity with the teachers!
