NSW public schools to 2031 :
"This briefing paper has been commissioned by the NSW Teachers Federation. The purpose of the paper is to examine the impact of enrolment growth on the future demand for teachers in the NSW public school system (Kindergarten to year 12)." - [p. 3]. The author provides three projections. "By 2031, it is projected that NSW public schools will require between 11,100 and 13,700 additional FTE teachers above 2020 FTE teacher numbers. Projection 1 is for an additional 11,095 FTE teachers. This is driven by NSW choosing to stay with its current 10-year average student-teacher ratio (poor by national standards). Projection 2 is for an additional 12,271 FTE teachers to be required by 2031. This is derived from NSW average student-teacher ratios and the NSW Department of Education projections for enrolment growth in NSW public schools. Projection 3 is for an additional 13,724 FTE teachers by 2031. This is driven by NSW improving its average student-teacher ratio so that it is equal to the national average for all schools." - p. 15.
