About this episode
The teacher shortage across Australia has left public school educators feeling burnt out and undervalued – that’s if they haven’t already quit.
In NSW, a plan to make the state’s teachers among the highest paid in the country helped Labor win the election this year.
But months after entering into pay negotiations, and on the verge of announcing a historic deal, the union is accusing the NSW government of reneging, breaking a core election promise to teachers and severely wounding a relationship that helped the premier to power.
So, what went wrong?
Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper and public schools advocate Jane Caro on how teachers keep being let down in Australia.
