Teachers in short supply - WA to offer bonuses!

 

$12.4 million to boost remote and regional teacher supply

I remember way back it was the case if you didn't qualify to go on to Matriculate, as long as you would go bush, you could train as a teacher - remember that! Well those who took up the offer actually wanted to work - well now that isn't enough. These people, after covid, want to be paid top money to go bush and governments are encouraging them to become mercenaries.

The latest effort of a government is the WA government who are throwing cash at people to "go bush' 

From their latest press release which puts the cost at $12.4m, they are saying:

The McGowan Government will invest $12.4 million in a new temporary initiative to retain and attract quality teachers to 48 of Western Australia's remote and regional public schools.

Education and Training Minister Sue Ellery today announced that the attraction and retention initiative would be implemented for the 2023 school year to provide incentives to teachers and school leaders to work in locations where demand for staff is the greatest.

The Department of Education has developed a Regional Incentive Framework to identify schools with the greatest need for teachers in 2023, where a one-off payment will be offered to both new and existing teachers and school leaders.'
