Fix this textTeachers in all sectors of public
Fix this texteducation are taking stopwork
Fix this textaction for up to two hours on
Fix this textTuesday September 2.
Fix this textSky Channel meetings, start-
Fix this texting at 9am, will hear reports from
Fix this textFederation Senior Officers and
Fix this textvote on future action.
Fix this textThis stopwork is called to make
Fix this textclear to the NSW Government
Fix this textthat teachers will not accept a cut
Fix this textin living standards, dismantling
Fix this textof an effective system of statewide
Fix this textschool staffing and transfers, or
Fix this textremoval of the requirement for
Fix this textpermanent TAFE teachers to
Fix this texthave university level teacher ed-
Fix this textucation qualifications. As well,
Fix this textthere are major restructuring
Fix this textissues for members in AMES and
Fix this textCorrective Services.
Fix this textAt the time of going to print
Fix this textthere was still no offer from the
Fix this textGovernment on salaries beyond
Fix this text2.5 per cent per annum. Infla-
Fix this texttion is currently 4.5 per cent. This
Fix this textwould mean a cut in real salary
Fix this textfor teachers.
Fix this textSchool teachers across the state
Fix this texthave been campaigning vigorous-
Fix this textly against the unilateral changes
Fix this textmade by Government to the staff-
Fix this texting and transfer system. Members
Fix this texthave made emphatic represen-
Fix this texttations to the Director-General,
Fix this textMichael Coutts-Trotter in many
Fix this textlocations. The Premier has been
Fix this textcalled on to resolve the dispute on
Fix this textnumerous occasions.
Fix this textThe campaign for restitution of
Fix this textqualification standards in TAFE
Fix this textalso continues.
Fix this textVenues for Sky Channel meet-
Fix this textings are available on Federation's
Fix this textwebsite ( www.nswtf.org.au ).
Fix this textMembers take local action on
Fix this textstaffing; pages 6 and 7.
Fix this textSalaries increases for all
Fix this textremain the priority
Fix this textBy re-announcing the availability of Institute of Teachers
Fix this textaccreditation the NSW Government is engaging in
Fix this textdiversionary tactics.
Fix this textBob Lipscombe
Fix this textDeputy President
Fix this textOn August 22 Acting Educa-
Fix this texttion and Training Minister John
Fix this textHatzistergos announced that In-
Fix this textstitute of Teachers accreditation
Fix this textat the levels of Professional Ac-
Fix this textcomplishment and Professional
Fix this textLeadership were now available.
Fix this textIn keeping with the long-estab-
Fix this textlished practice in the education
Fix this textportfolio, this was a repeat of the
Fix this textmedia release and announce-
Fix this textment already made by Minister
Fix this textJohn Della Bosca on May 28.
Fix this textAt the time of the original an-
Fix this textnouncement Federation made its
Fix this textposition clear. The union does not
Fix this textoppose the establishment of explic-
Fix this textit standards by the Institute, howev-
Fix this texter, it is an insult to expect teachers
Fix this textto pay an initial application fee of
Fix this text$6O and total fees ranging between
Fix this text$550 and $650 for the privilege of
Fix this textbeing assessed against them.
Fix this textFederation's media release of
Fix this textMay 28 stated that how accredi-
Fix this texttation might operate in public
Fix this textschools was unclear and that there
Fix this textwas a need for discussions be-
Fix this texttween Federation and the Depart-
Fix this textment of Education and Training.
Fix this textIt also stated: "The accreditation
Fix this textavailable to teachers at the levels
Fix this textof Professional Accomplishment
Fix this textand Leadership.. .must he accom-
Fix this textpanied by resources that would
Fix this textensure equitable access for all
Fix this textteachers in NSW public schools...
Fix this text"The Federation calls on the
Fix this textMinister to remedy this by iden-
Fix this texttifying the resources that will he
Fix this textmade available for recognising
Fix this textquality teaching and negotiating
Fix this texta fair process that recognises the
Fix this textwork teachers do without placing
Fix this textadditional burdens on them.
Fix this text"The Federation rejects the im-
Fix this textposition of a fee to access these ac-
Fix this textcreditation procedures for Pro-
Fix this textfessional Accomplishment and
Fix this textLeadership. Any costs associated
Fix this textwith this process should be borne
Fix this textby the State Government. This
Fix this textamounts to a salary cut for any
Fix this textteachers who seek accreditation."
Fix this textMedia speculation about salary
Fix this textincreases attached to the Institute
Fix this textstandards are just that Such increas-
Fix this textes were first raised by the Federal
Fix this textALP in 2006 when in opposition,
Fix this textwith a proposal that those voluntar-
Fix this textily achieving set standards would
Fix this textreceive an additional $lO,OOO per
Fix this textannum over the common incremen-
Fix this texttal scale. Since the election no fund-
Fix this texting for this has been forthcoming
Fix this textfrom the Rudd Federal Government,
Fix this textother that the allocation earlier this
Fix this textyear of $400,000 to look at the estab-
Fix this textlishment of national standards.
Fix this textWith no additional funding
Fix this textavailable, the possibility that in
Fix this textthe near future national stand-
Fix this textards may displace the NSW Insti-
Fix this texttute standards, and a state govern-
Fix this textment which says it will only fund
Fix this texta 2.5 per cent salaries increase,
Fix this textthe re-announcement on August
Fix this text22 is little more than an attempt-
Fix this texted diversion. The 2.5 per cent of
Fix this textcourse makes a mockery of any
Fix this textsuggestion that this state govern-
Fix this textment is interested in rewarding
Fix this textteacher excellence.
Fix this textFederation will not be divert-
Fix this texted. Fully-funded across the board
Fix this textsalary increases for all teachers
Fix this textremain the priority rather than
Fix this texttargeted increases for a few.

Fix this textThe second set of TV advertise-
Fix this textments in Federation's current
Fix this textseries aired August 21 to 25.
Fix this textThe set addressed the value of
Fix this textteachers.
Fix this textAdvertisements in the series
Fix this textfeature either a mum or a dad.
Fix this textThe "mum" advertisements target
Fix this textprimary school parents and the
Fix this text"dad" advertisements target high
Fix this textschool parents.
Fix this textThe third set of advertise-
Fix this textments, about a plan for schools,
Fix this textwill screen September 5 to 10.
Fix this textThe advertisements highlight
Fix this textthe importance of highly trained
Fix this textqualified teachers in every com-
Fix this textmunity across the state and the
Fix this textnegative impacts on local com-
Fix this textmunities of the lemma Govern-
Fix this textment's changes to the statewide
Fix this textstaffing system.
Fix this textParents appreciate the value of
Fix this texthighly qualified and well paid teach-
Fix this texters to both the education of their
Fix this textown children and to the local com-
Fix this textmunity in general. Yet, the lemma
Fix this textGovernment is trying to destroy
Fix this textthe system that delivers qualified,
Fix this texttrained teachers to local communi-
Fix this textties regardless of the wealth or loca-
Fix this texttion ofthat local community.
