5065 - TRAINING HOURS FOR TEACHERS AND STAFF

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education representing the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning

How many teachers and staff in schools in the Wallsend electorate have started or have completed training hours in their professional development and mental health and wellbeing as part of the November 2020 announcement?

 
Answer -

On 9 November 2020, I launched the Mental Health Hub which promotes advice, support services and resources to students, parents and teachers.

The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) reviewed the professional development undertaken by teachers who are currently employed at schools (both government and non-government) in the Wallsend electorate according to NESA's database.

Noting that NESA relies on teachers to keep their school location up to date, data indicates that from the launch of the Mental Health Hub to 5 February 2021, 45 teachers in schools in the Wallsend Electorate had completed one or more of the professional development courses and modules promoted through the Mental Health Hub.
