Tertiary Education
Motion:
That ICPA Australia lobby the Minister for Education to attract more students with an agricultural degree into the High Achieving Teachers (HAT) Program.
Explanation:
The HAT program focuses on attracting new teachers, including those with a STEM background, First Nations peoples, people with disability, teacher aides and people based in remote locations. We would like to see a focus on more teachers with an agricultural degree being added to the program as we strive to educate more students in the agricultural industries, the demand for qualified agricultural educators will continue to grow. These teachers play a vital role in shaping the agricultural pathways and education for our rural children.
