Western Metropolitan Region
Moira DEEMING (Western Metropolitan) (12:47): (935) My constituency question today was written by Mehar, a local school student in my region, and it is for the Minister for Education. Victorian schools are expected to face a shortage of more than 5000 teachers by the end of 2028, exacerbated by a dramatic decline in applications for teaching positions, from 14.7 per vacancy in 2021 to just 5.3 per vacancy now. The teachers that are left are burning out and teaching outside their subject areas, and that means that students are not getting the choice of subjects or the quality of teaching that they need. What action is the Minister for Education taking to address the teacher shortage in Victoria?
The PRESIDENT: I would imagine your concern is the teacher shortage in your region?
Moira DEEMING: Yes.
The PRESIDENT: Very good.
