Title NSW public schools to 2036 : impact of enrolment growth on demand for teachers in local government areas / [ElectronicResource]
Published [NSW Teachers Federation], [2021]
Collation 20 pages [PDF]
General Note "This briefing paper has been commissioned by the NSW Teachers Federation. The purpose of the paper is to project the number of teacher positions required to meet predicted enrolments in NSW public schools (kindergarten to year 12)." - [p. 3].
Summary Note The author provides two recommendations for action. "1. Policy commitment for action — The size of enrolment increases within the coming years combined with the impact of COVID-19, means NSW is in a race to safeguard the learning and development of a generation of children in the west and south-west of Sydney. The NSW Government (and indeed the Commonwealth) should adopt as a key policy target the immediate large-scale increase in the teaching force for these priority and high-need LGAs. Getting in early can only help to remediate the educational challenges that have been exposed and deepened by the COVID-19 pandemic. It will leave these schools with a more manageable task for developing quality of learning. The alternative is those schools being abandoned to soaring enrolment growth coupled with a cohort of learners already battered and left behind by COVID-19. 2. Immediate growth in teaching force in super-growth LGAs of 3250 FTE teachers is required — The NSW Government needs to commit to employing in 2022 and 2023 approximately 50 per cent of the projected additional teachers to be required by public schools by 2036 (approximately 3250 additional FTE teachers by 2023 across primary and secondary schools). These additional teachers are in line with the growth in enrolment projections for these super-growth LGAs that will be experienced during the years 2020–26. The failure to deliver these increases in teacher numbers will mean schools in these high-needs LGAs will fall to fewer teachers per student than for the NSW state-wide average." - p. 16.
