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:
The latest available data on teachers broken down into primary and secondary categories is August 2014.
As at August 2014, there were 8,042 government primary school teachers/leaders and 5,097 secondary school teachers/leaders.
The data includes teachers and leaders who were actively employed in government schools or sites attached to schools and spend the majority of their time in contact with children/students and have teaching duties. Also includes leadership positions but excludes teachers/leaders on four or more weeks leave and temporary relieving teachers.
Teachers are paid the salary rate agreed to in the South Australia School and Preschool Education Staff Enterprise Agreement 2012.
Below is a table containing the number of teachers/leaders, as at August 2014, broken down by classification and salary step.
