Acting federal Education Minister Stuart Robert has blamed “dud teachers” for the decline in the academic results of Australian students while praising independent schools for employing only quality teachers and delivering a model example of education.
“The problem is the protection of teachers that don’t want to be there; that aren’t up to the right standard; that are graduating from university or have been for the last 10 years and they can’t read and write.” “You don’t have the bottom 10 per cent of teachers dragging the chain. But for every teacher you don’t have in your organisation, guess where they go?”
“What is beyond dispute is the disparity in total funding and resources available to schools across different sectors, which has the most impact on outcomes,” he said. Mr Robert said the federal government would seek to lift teacher quality by exercising control over the content of university teaching courses, which he said would be linked to government funding. He told the forum he wanted to see the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education students moved forward to the first week of the first year of education degrees.
“Negative rhetoric about teachers has the effect of deterring the best potential teachers,” she added.
LisaVisentin More like a dud system!
LisaVisentin Pretty disgusting that the education minister can say this. He has the ultimate responsibility, but he deflects his role of not bringing teachers with him to achieve their very best
LisaVisentin How very Morrison Govt of him blame blame Accountability abc730 AuspolSoCorrupt AusPol2022 LNPCorruptionParty
LisaVisentin A majority of the Private sector have KPI's that need to be meet by staff, if these targets are not met then you may need to start looking for another job. Can anyone tell me how do they monitor a teachers performance and then what is done about it?
LisaVisentin My TAFE teacher only knew a handful of DOS commands thaught IT subject 10 uears ago. He was at 60 and just getting to reach his retirement. Another teacher couldn't work out binary but teach networking. He just sat for half an hour before asking students to read their own.
LisaVisentin Interesting call minister, can you name them please as that’s only fair to give the said teachers a right of reply. “Good teachers “ shouldn’t have doubts on their ability caste 😡
LisaVisentin The only thing dud is brother stuie and his fellow government ministers.
LisaVisentin Not the fact that funding is systematically cut? Or that teachers aren't paid enough to retain them in the career? Not that part?
LisaVisentin Covering up his own failings. It is his job to ensure they are not duds.
LisaVisentin Wow how typical a politician blaming others for their inadequacies
LisaVisentin This guy is an absolute....
LisaVisentin Why are we accepting the premise? Where is the proof about this bottom 10% not being actually illiterate?
LisaVisentin It's the whole education department. You all need the sack and start again. No teacher is overworked. Our child's teacher in grade 5 was using a ukulele to teach the kids what a joke he got moved on. Go take a good look in the mirror the system is broken.
deniseshrivell LisaVisentin Citizens blame dud Ministers for declining governmental standards.
LisaVisentin Can we blame ‘dud politicians’ for the failing economy?
LisaVisentin CallTheElectionDickhead
hughriminton LisaVisentin He has a BA and an MBA. Education ministers need to have education qualifications and backgrounds. He has no idea what he’s on about and it really shows.
hughriminton LisaVisentin Ask him if he knows what teachers did to go back to the blackboard before blackboards were invented…..
LisaVisentin What the af
LisaVisentin More like a dud education minister
LisaVisentin Got nothing to do with independent schools receiving almost double per student than state schools.
hughriminton LisaVisentin The irony; a man only known for gross incompetence and corrupt misappropriation of government funds, labels teachers incompetent while ignoring the real issue that they do not have sufficient government funding to do their job.
LisaVisentin Seems like he’s nothing more than a ‘dud minister’
LisaVisentin Blame a dud minister
LisaVisentin The LNP have been in power for 14 of the last 20 years of the the declining education results. Seems the more the LNP are in government the more decline in education results we see. Perverse that they are blaming dud teachers when in reality it is their dud governance
LisaVisentin This is APPALING. YOU are the (albeit 'acting') EducationMinister for OUR Nation. AND YOU comeup with thisdivisiveness!YOU are supposed to unite US, bring us together&strengthen US. And here YOU are with THIS rubbish. YOU are in the bottom 10% of politicians. Get in the bin!
LisaVisentin 😂😂😂
hughriminton LisaVisentin Disgusting. Why retweet without comment hughriminton? I take it that means you agree with this nonsense?
hughriminton LisaVisentin To be fair. A whole bunch of dud ministers make a total dud government failing its citizens - so I see where the thinking comes from.
LisaVisentin Is this the same government that are currently fast tracking wool buyers to become teachers in 6 months? Every time I think this government can’t sink any lower they stick another boot in. 😡😡😡
LisaVisentin What a wanker. And the same could be said for the decline in ppls attitude toward government
hughriminton LisaVisentin And educators blame 'dud minister' with his 'dud policies' for the decline in standards. Here is our example - Mr Roberts himself.
LisaVisentin Squandering billions on providing elite private schools with ever more lavish features while strangling public schools, funnelling money to wealthy mates, while punishing the most vulnerable…the dud is this vile govt.
LisaVisentin He’s talking nonsense!
LisaVisentin Resources fukwit really hope they walk out for a month until there’s a substantial pay rise and a full page apology.
hughriminton LisaVisentin So results get worse as private schools increase. Interesting.
deniseshrivell LisaVisentin Unf**kingbelievable 😡
LisaVisentin “Electorate blames dud Ministers for poor governance” Fixed it.
LisaVisentin Way to win over the electorate!
LisaVisentin Australia is full of dud teachers.
LisaVisentin and he is right.
deniseshrivell LisaVisentin Even a colossal dud would recognise Stuart Robert as a massive dud. The dud of duds. The greatest dud to ever dud.
hughriminton LisaVisentin And dud politicians for the state of our democracy too
LisaVisentin
LisaVisentin Straight out of the Morrison government play book - blame everyone else, take no responsibility for anything.
TheBigShip LisaVisentin Gosh he really is from the 1930's isn't he. Our little Goose-stepping water draining friend of no one.
hughriminton LisaVisentin And dud politicians cause the decline of govt standards.
LisaVisentin Disgusting comment. ‘Dud Teachers’.
hughriminton LisaVisentin What a disgrace.
LisaVisentin He is a horrible grub.
LisaVisentin perfect excuse except he's running the department ! 🤡🤡🤡🙄👍
LisaVisentin Not the numerous reports into the liberals class-war and refusal to pay teachers even at a pace with inflation. He’s a genius.
hughriminton LisaVisentin if only there was someone in the government responsible for education, who could do something to correct this purported problem.
hughriminton LisaVisentin The minister for Rolex watches, $38k internet and Blind Trusts said what?!
deniseshrivell LisaVisentin From the rocket scientist who brought us robodebt!
hughriminton LisaVisentin Woah! Is he for real?
LisaVisentin ‘We are never wrong. Therefore, you must be the problem!’ Trust a Liberal Education Minister to take such an oppositional, adversarial, antagonistic and gas-lighting approach to teachers! Time to end this shameful farce of a government. Bring on the election
hughriminton LisaVisentin He meant to say Dud Liberal MPs
DrDemography LisaVisentin Education minister, like his colleagues, is the dud
hughriminton LisaVisentin I blame dud minister for falling standards of living
LisaVisentin My kids were educated at public schools.They were taught by remarkable teachers who inspired, informed and enabled them to go to uni and pursue their ambitions. Nasty, divisive and ill-informed politicisation of education is responsible for the decline of standards.
LisaVisentin Is this guy for real?
LisaVisentin It rots from the top.
LisaVisentin If only public schools were funded to the minimum resources standard. Stop funding private schools. Gender and socioeconomic background are the gender only two predictors of school results. Fund public schools properly and we might see outcomes increase.
LisaVisentin It’s said we get the politicians we deserve. How did this plonka end up with such an important portfolio❓
LisaVisentin 80% female teachers in schools, churning out generations of dysfunction.
LisaVisentin Ok, he had dud teachers . We understand
LisaVisentin
LisaVisentin He is right, teachers with no training in our high schools.
LisaVisentin Ill informed…most of the important childhood outcomes are a direct consequence of the home environment…teachers are the scapegoats..!
LisaVisentin Says stuartrobertmp, a DudMinister, in a DudGovernment…
LisaVisentin Great support there from the dud LNP government
LisaVisentin I blame the dud system that prevents principals getting rid of the dud teacher.
LisaVisentin If only he could figure out who's in charge of Education. Maybe that person could take responsibility.
LisaVisentin Dud government.
LisaVisentin Not dud Ministers?
LisaVisentin There’s a little over 260k teachers in Australia -if you are one of them when you go to vote this May have that sentence in your mind.
LisaVisentin As per usual in this government if something goes wrong or doesn't work out it is always someone else's fault, nothing to do with them, can't possibly be us, must be teachers or that other mob's fault, labor
LisaVisentin Nothing to do with underfunding public schools and redirecting public funds, which should be used for public schools, to so called 'independent' schools? TheyHateYouAll VoteThemAllOut
LisaVisentin Voters blame dud Ministers for declining country.
LisaVisentin
LisaVisentin 'dud teachers' ? Nah, dud Minister.
LisaVisentin The only dud is the government
LisaVisentin LNP - someone else’s fault. Always.
LisaVisentin Says a dud Government
LisaVisentin When teachers are crying about being overworked, terrible conditions, understaffed and no plans to attract more to the profession, I suspect it’s not the quality of teachers that’s the problem
political_alert LisaVisentin Did the libs fire all of their media advisors
LisaVisentin Nah, that line of thinking can fuck right off In the bin
LisaVisentin LiberalAus is at the end of their 3rd term in government and just discovered they should support and develop quality teachers? And this is something they're boasting about? auspol
LisaVisentin Maybe if governments didn’t dump every social problem onto teachers and public schools to fix this would leave time for teachers to teach.
LisaVisentin
LisaVisentin Didn't his party cut funding to education? Sounds like teachers are trying to do their best in midst of a pandemic with the paltry sum they've been given. Maybe the education minister should try taking some responsibility for why his portfolio is filled with 'declining results'.
LisaVisentin The entire education system is outdated and worse than useless. Students lose their inherent curiosity and just do paint by numbers in exams to pass
LisaVisentin ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
LisaVisentin The failure to apply Gonski reforms and favour private education is the mark of the LNP
LisaVisentin 😂😂😂😂
LisaVisentin Who’s to blame for him being a massive dud?
