Fix this textPicket Retraining Unit
Fix this textby John Poulos
Fix this textTeachers trainees from the
Fix this textConservatorium of Music joined an
Fix this textofficial federation picket line at
Fix this textthe Leichhardt retraining centre.
Fix this textThe trainees joined the picket line
Fix this textin support of federation’s ban on
Fix this textthe 10 week retraining/training
Fix this textcourses in mathematics and music.
Fix this textThe bans were placed on the crash
Fix this textcourses by June Council and has
Fix this textbeen re-iterated at subsequent
Fix this textCouncil meetings.
Fix this textThe trainees were specifically
Fix this textconcerned that their four year
Fix this texttraining courses was being devalued
Fix this textby the 10 week crash courses and
Fix this textthat students were entitled to
Fix this textproperly qualified and accredited
Fix this text■teachers.
Fix this textThe bans were imposed because
Fix this textof the Government’s failure to
Fix this textprovide a long term solution to the
Fix this textshortage of specialist teachers,
Fix this textparticularly in mathematics,
Fix this textmusic, science and industrial arts.
Fix this textThe Federation has been warning
Fix this textthe Government since 1979 that
Fix this textthere would be shortages in certain
Fix this textsubject areas. The Government’s only
Fix this textsolution to the short and long term
Fix this textneed for specialist teachers has been
Fix this textthe establishment of 10 week crash
Fix this textcourses.
Fix this textSome of the students in the
Fix this textretraining/training courses, have
Fix this textinsufficient background in the
Fix this textdiscipline they have been offered
Fix this texttraining and retraining.
Fix this textIn August, under pressure from
Fix this textthe Federation, accredited teacher
Fix this texttraining courses were set up in
Fix this textNewcastle and Kuringai CAE’s in
Fix this textmathematics, Science and
Fix this textindustrial arts. The Government’s
Fix this textis still insisting on running
Fix this textnon-accredited 10 week courses at the
Fix this textretraining unit.
Fix this textThe Department had assured
Fix this textthe Federation that the June 10
Fix this textweek course would the only course
Fix this textthat would be run.
Fix this textThe Federation is aware of the
Fix this textconcerns of many schools for
Fix this textqualified teachers, but believes
Fix this textthat to allow such courses to
Fix this textcontinue will never force the
Fix this textGovernment to meet its commit-
Fix this textment for properly trained and
Fix this textaccredited teachers.
Fix this textThe Federation is specifically
Fix this textconcerned that the training or
Fix this textretraining of teachers in subject
Fix this textdiscipline, in both method and
Fix this textcontent, cannot adequately occur
Fix this textin 10 weeks. Students have the
Fix this textright to quality education from
Fix this textqualified teachers. The placement
Fix this textof inqualified teachers (in those
Fix this textdisciplines) into schools will
Fix this textundermine the working conditions
Fix this textof other teachers.
Fix this textThe Federation is still waiting
Fix this textfor the Government to put
Fix this textforward their long term plans to
Fix this textovercome the critical shortage of
Fix this textteachers.
