Australian Teachers' Perceptions of Their Work in 2022
8 in 10 teachers feel a clear sense of belonging to the profession, but only 3 in 10 teachers plan to stay on. The 2022 report explores the reasons why and what can be done about it.
Teachers have a massive impact on our lives and communities, and play a critical role in shaping our shared future. They deserve our respect, trust and to feel safe at work. Monash researchers have conducted a national study of 5,000 teachers. This builds on ongoing research from 2019 and offers insights into better ways to support and retain teachers.
The results are a wake up call for all of us. They highlight the need for personal action and systemic change.
This includes:
- More respect for teachers and the profession
- Tackling teacher workload and administrative burden
- Creating safe work environments
- Including teachers’ voices in policy recommendations
