Schools, Temporary Primary School Teachers

765 Mr BOYER (Wright) (27 August 2021). How many temporary contract primary school teachers are currently employed by the education department?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education): I have been advised of the following:

As at 19 August 2021 there were 2,749 (headcount) temporary primary teachers representing 2,405.5 FTE.

This number reflects temporary teachers employed in stand-alone primary schools. This data does not capture temporary primary teachers who work in combined schools (Reception to Year 12), special schools or Aboriginal schools.

This number is representative of classroom teachers only and excludes leadership positions.
