Teacher workforce planning

This audit has identified an urgent need to ensure an adequate supply of teachers to prevent any prospective shortage of teachers in Victoria. Matching the demand for teachers with an appropriate supply is a critical input into teacher work force planning. The work force planning process is made more difficult by the number of important stakeholders in the process at both a State and Commonwealth level. Under current arrangements for the planning and funding of higher education, there is a need for greater co-ordination to ensure an adequate number and appropriate distribution of teacher education places to supply the need for teachers in schools.
