Teachers

In reply to Mr PISONI (Unley) (24 July 2015). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for the Public Sector): I have been advised of the following:

During the 2014-15 year, three teachers were removed from schools for reasons of concerns raised about either their performance or their behaviour. They have either worked elsewhere in the Department for Education and Child Development or have been placed on leave with pay.

During the same time frame, twelve teachers had been advised that their performance was persistently unsatisfactory and that they would be the subject of a managing unsatisfactory performance process.

Last year, 2014, the employment of two teachers was terminated as the result of a managing unsatisfactory performance review process.
