Abstract

This paper provides a brief overview of the current teacher workforce situation, focussing largely on Victoria. It highlights workforce trends and projected growth, and areas where the collection and analysis of additional data may assist in the targeting of effective policy. The context for reviewing our understanding of the current teacher workforce is the significant rising demand for teachers in most states over the next 10 years.
