House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Answers to Questions Schools, Specialist Teachers Schools, Specialist Teachers Mr BOYER House of Assembly Wright Schools, Specialist Teachers 764 Mr BOYER (Wright) (27 August 2021). What is the breakdown of additional specialist teachers required for next year in high schools (Maths, Science, Tech, Chemistry etc.)? The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER House of Assembly Morialta Minister for Education Schools, Specialist Teachers The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education): I have been advised: Given each school makes local decisions about its staffing profile, year on year, including how it deploys existing teaching staff, the Department for Education is not able to answer with certainty the 'additional' number of specialist teachers required by subject when compared to 2021. Each school determines its employment needs based on its current arrangements, program offerings, student subject selections, as well as the skills and expertise of both current teachers already at the site and those who have been placed into the site through teacher placement. Recruitment to ongoing secondary teacher roles will continue with the final round of advertisements to go live in week 8, term 3 and close prior to the end of term.
