Early Childhood Education and Care
Motion:
“That ICPA (Aust) requests the relevant federal ministers to amend the lack of salary parity between four year trained early childhood teachers and four year trained primary and high school teachers working in rural and remote Australia.”
Explanation:
Currently, the pay gap is so significant it is impossible to recruit and retain teachers in early childhood centres and new recruits often use early childhood jobs as a stepping stone into the primary school sector.
