Fix this textmined it will seek at least a 7.5
Fix this textper cent per annum pay increase

Fix this textFederation’s priority demand
Fix this texton the political parties, indepen-
Fix this textdents and candidates in the State
Fix this textelection is “Increasing the salaries
Fix this textand status of the teaching profes-
Fix this textsion”.
Fix this textFederation’s Annual Confer-
Fix this textence established the principles for
Fix this textthe salaries and status claim, and
Fix this textmembership consultation follow-
Fix this texting Annual Conference endorsed
Fix this textthese principles.
Fix this textThe claim was revised by
Fix this textAugust Council and is a simple
Fix this textclaim, comprising two parts:
Fix this textquantum and addressing equity
Fix this textissues.
Fix this textQuantum
Fix this textA salary increase for teachers
Fix this textmust incorporate components
Fix this textthat:
Fix this text□ ensure salaries keep pace with
Fix this textinflation and the cost of living;
Fix this text□ recognise the increased work-
Fix this textload of teachers, radical changes
Fix this textto curriculum and changes in the
Fix this textnature of work that have taken
Fix this textplace as a result of educational
Fix this textchange, including technology and
Fix this textchanges in society;
Fix this text□ arrest the decline in teacher

Fix this textSecondary teachers willing
Fix this textto take industrial action
Fix this textby Sue Simpson
Fix this textSecondary teachers around the
Fix this textstate have endorsed calls for
Fix this textstate-wide industrial action if
Fix this textnegotiations with the Department
Fix this textof Education and Training (DET)
Fix this textand the Government on a state-
Fix this textwide policy framework do not
Fix this textproceed satisfactorily.
Fix this textFederation’s August Council
Fix this textcalled for a month’s negotiations
Fix this textbefore September Council
Fix this textreviews progress of the negotia-
Fix this texttions. If progress is again to be
Fix this textdeemed unsatisfactory, then a
Fix this textdate for industrial action will be
Fix this textset.
Fix this textAt this stage the Education
Fix this textMinister has proposed discus-
Fix this textsions with Federation in “the lat-
Fix this textter part of this year” in order “to
Fix this textdevelop an appropriate set of
Fix this textprinciples applying state-wide to
Fix this textsecondary education”. Federation
Fix this textis currently discussing with DET
Fix this textwhat these words really mean,
Fix this textincluding the terms of reference
Fix this textfor future discussions and the sta-
Fix this texttus of any such discussions.
Fix this textFederation will not allow
Fix this textNSW to go down the path of
Fix this textVictoria where school councils
Fix this textcan choose to specialise (without
Fix this textregard to the effect on surround-
Fix this texting communities) and become
Fix this textcontractual service providers to
Fix this textthe government. Federation is
Fix this textcommitted to increasing co-oper-
Fix this textation and sharing expertise
Fix this textbetween local comprehensive
Fix this text7 —12 high schools, TAFE col-
Fix this textleges and universities within geo-
Fix this textgraphically identifiable areas
Fix this textrather than increasing competi-
Fix this texttion and specialisation.
Fix this textFederation is prepared to discuss
Fix this textco-operative planning and
Fix this texttimetabling and the resources
Fix this textnecessary to support it.
Fix this textAny consideration concerning
Fix this texta variation to the organisation of
Fix this textsecondary education must occur
Fix this textwithin a negotiated state-wide
Fix this textpolicy framework based on sound
Fix this texteducational and industrial princi-
Fix this textples and resource guarantees to
Fix this textsupport such variation.
Fix this textFederation will not support
Fix this textpoorly researched experiments.
Fix this textAny variations to organisation
Fix this textmust be evaluated centrally.
Fix this textPremier Bob Carr has stated in
Fix this texta letter to Federation that he is
Fix this textcommitted to “comprehensive
Fix this texthigh schools as the core of public
Fix this textsecondary education providing
Fix this textfor all students in the local com-
Fix this textmunity” (March 4). The
Fix this textGovernment must be kept to this
Fix this textcommitment.
Fix this textFederation is seeking discus-
Fix this textsions with the Opposition to clar-
Fix this textify their position on secondary
Fix this texteducation. They seem to favour
Fix this textmore school specialisation and
Fix this textgreater powers to school councils
Fix this textto identify the school’s identity.
Fix this textFederation Representatives in
Fix this textsecondary schools have been sent
Fix this texta leaflet outlining Federation’s
Fix this texteducational and industrial con-
Fix this textcerns with the range of proposals
Fix this textthat are currently being consid-
Fix this textered by school communities
Fix this textaround the state.
Fix this textPrimary school teachers are
Fix this textencouraged to consider the issues
Fix this textas middle school concepts and
Fix this textK —l 2 schools have been pro-
Fix this textposed.
Fix this textCorrection
Fix this textThe August 17 edition of
Fix this textEducation indicated that
Fix this textMinister for Education John
Fix this textAquilina had failed to respond
Fix this textto Federation on the issue of
Fix this textsecondary organisation. This
Fix this textwas correct at the time the arti-
Fix this textcle was written. However, sub-
Fix this textsequent to that, Mr Aquilina
Fix this textdid respond. A fax was sent to
Fix this textsecondary schools on August
Fix this text17 by Federation acknowledg-
Fix this texting this. Federation apologises
Fix this textfor the error.
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
