Are we throwing teachers under the bus??

Students return to schools across the country this week (except for QLD) and they face a very challenging tension point for ‘living with covid’.

We’re joined by Correna Haythorpe, the Federal President of the Australian Education Union. We know with Omicron spreading across the nation, you’ve got dozens of people in one room, a huge number of unvaccinated kids, who’re mixing in from different households, loads of transport creating potential contact points... and a workforce that was already stretched and in short supply in many places.

In this Briefing, you’ll hear more from teachers about their fears.. As we ask... are we throwing teachers under the bus?
