National secretary Edward Schuller slammed the “wasteful” Allan Government and called for economic reform to meaningfully address issues of teacher workload, class sizes, and student behaviour.

“The offer does not address the radical reform so desperately needed in our education system. Instead, it entrenches the same government waste that has put Victoria in the hole it is today - while leaving frontline teachers out to dry,” he said.

VICTORIAN TEACHERS REJECT PAY OFFER!

We can now reveal that TPAA members voted 65% NO, while AEU members voted 57% NO to the Allan Government's pay offer.

The TPAA has long held concerns, and voiced them directly to the department, that the centralisation of services, decision-making, and data by the government would result in not only inefficiency, but data risks.

“Children are certainly lacking discipline at home,” Schuller said.

“It’s not good for the child if there are conflicting messages from the teacher to the parent, parent to the teacher around discipline and its very confusing for the children.”
