Teachers

In reply to Mr DULUK (Davenport) (29 July 2016). (Estimates Committee A)

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

Department records indicate that there are approximately 2,700 DECD teachers with masters degrees, however, as it is not currently mandatory for DECD employees to record their qualifications with the department over and above the minimum teaching requirement, this figure is an approximation only.
