Teacher training review findings leaked to Sydney Morning Herald

$130,000 teachers and other ideas

---

Jordan Baker in the Sydney Morning Herald is reporting on a leaked copy of the Australian federal government review of teacher training. Baker leads with the idea, floated in the review, that teachers could earn up to $130k — roughly $30k more than present. The logic is based upon the observation that although newly qualified teachers earn a relatively high salary, they do not progress in pay in the same way as similar careers.

Although the $130k headline is eye-catching, Baker outlines a number of additional proposals that could radically change the training landscape.
