Teacher Salary Relativities: A Benchmarking Approach Download

Description:

New South Wales, like other states in Australia, is facing a crisis in education.  The average age of secondary teachers in NSW has now reached 49 years.  Some estimates suggest that up to 50 percent of the current teacher workforce in the State will leave the teaching profession in the next five years and that the numbers of new teachers entering the profession will fall well short of that number (MCEETYA 2003).  The questions must be asked: what has contributed to the development of this situation and what can the Government do to rectify the problem?  A major contributing factor relates to the current industrial relations system and the system of wage determination for teachers in NSW.
