Australian Secondary Schools and the Teacher Crisis: Understanding Teacher Shortages and Attrition
The current teacher shortages in Australia are crippling the education sector. Schools have great difficulties in recruiting teachers and retaining the existing workforce. An unmanageable workload is to blame for teacher attrition as well as unsafe working conditions, high stress and
burnout. The only way out of this crisis is a significant alleviation of the workload, and a review of the education system that mirrors the realities of a changing world.
