Short and long term solutions are required to address teacher shortages. An action plan will be created federally to go some way to address ongoing issues. The QTU will continue to work with members in their local context. qtu.asn.au/journal/queens…

Last week in conjunction with the AEU - the QTU was in Canberra to take a stand for National TAFE Day. While federal funding announcements are welcome, more remains to be done to #rebuildwithtafe
