A new campaign to ‘save’ teaching

A new government campaign, ‘Be That Teacher’ is trying to inspire a new generation of educators . This comes as Australia faces a national teacher shortage, with the Federal Government saying that from 2021 to 2025 the country will have 4,100 fewer teachers than needed. In today’s deep dive, we’ll look at whether this campaign is likely to bring new teachers to the profession, and whether inspiration is enough for the teachers already considering quitting.
