The federal government should stop wasting taxpayer money funding the Teach for Australia Program, the Australian Education Union urged today.
A new report released today reveals that over half its participants have left the profession within three years of becoming qualified teachers.
Australian Education Union Federal President Correna Haythorpe said: “It is astounding that the Federal Government is choosing to fund this failing program at the same time as slashing the original Gonski needs-based funding agreements that were delivering targeted resources to our schools and making a difference to the lives of our students.”
