Tertiary Education
Motion:
“That ICPA (Aust) lobbies the Federal Government to commence a program to waive the HECS debt for new university education degree enrolments where graduates are willing to hold a teaching position in a remote area for a period equivalent to their tertiary education.”
Explanation:
Programs of this kind have the possibility of enticing new teachers into rural and remote areas that they may previously not have considered. Having them hold the teaching position for the equivalent of the course time allows them to form relationships and strong bonds within communities within those isolated towns. With the cost of living increasing, removing one of the financial burdens on a new teacher would be a hard offer to turn away.
