The strategy includes evidence-based measures and innovative pilot programs with built-in evaluation. This will help us better understand what works and what doesn’t, allowing us to make better investment decisions into the future.

The NSW Government will develop implementation plans for all initiatives, with a focus on delivering short-term initiatives, while establishing solid foundations for medium and long-term initiatives.

We value the broad range of expertise and innovative thinking of our stakeholders and are committed to working together. A reference group of key education system stakeholders will be established to inform delivery of the strategy and explore new innovations and opportunities to grow teacher supply into the future.

The NSW Teacher Supply Strategy complements a range of other strategic reforms and initiatives that form part of the NSW Government’s overarching vision for a world-class education system in NSW.

The School Success Model reform has been designed to get better support to our teachers and schools - while sharing accountability for student success across everyone in Education - to ensure that every student, teacher, leader and school improves every year.

The NSW Teacher Supply Strategy supports the School Success Model by increasing capacity and capability where it’s needed, ensuring the right teachers are in the right places.

The strategy also contributes to the NSW Rural and Remote Education Strategy’s vision that every child in regional NSW has access to the same quality of education as their metropolitan peers.

The strategy will support the NSW Disability Strategy’s aspiration to deliver a more inclusive education system where teachers have the skills needed to effectively educate children with additional needs.

Through this strategy, we will deliver a sustainable pipeline of high-quality teachers with the right subject qualifications in the right locations, available to be employed as needed over the next decade.
