Australian teachers losing collective billions in unpaid work each year

Teachers in Australia are losing more than $11.5bn a year in unpaid work, a Parliamentary Library analysis commissioned by the Greens has revealed.

Our teachers are overworked, undervalued and face increasingly difficult and unsafe conditions in the classroom.

As a public school teacher myself for more than 25 years, I can tell you there is nothing more demoralising for a teacher than feeling like you’ve failed a student because you didn’t have enough time or enough resources.
