After the last deal post was unpublished for being too early, and given today marks 90 days until January 1st next year, I figure we can finally share this bargain.

From media release

An investment of up to $93.2 million will provide new scholarships to support teaching degree students with the cost of studying and living – joining the Labor Government’s Free Nursing initiative, which began this year to boost the state’s pipeline of healthcare workers.

The scholarships will be available to all students who enrol in secondary school teaching degrees in 2024 and 2025, with final payments if they then work in Victorian government schools for two years after they graduate – supporting around 4,000 future teachers each year.

The total scholarship for students who complete their studies and then choose to work in government secondary schools will match the HELP fees charged by the Commonwealth Government for Commonwealth Supported Places – $18,000 for a four-year undergraduate program or $9,000 for two years of postgraduate study.

Enjoy!

    They have already allowed unvaxxed teachers back. You can stop tripping on that now, COVID is over.

      COVID is over, now we just have to pay the consequences due to lockdowns and forcing people out of work. Like offering free uni which will inevitably increase taxes and make inflation even worse. Your name is quite fitting, your logic is literally non existent.

        The free uni is for one of the worst jobs in the country because the education system is a shambles.

        But your logic is we need more teachers because COVID done gone us all bad social feel bad, inflation, something.

          @illogicalerror: Yeah it's only a coincidence that we have job shortages in multiple industries after COVID. Not at all connected, things are so much better now then pre COVID!! Thanks for the jabbies daddy government.

          Am I meant to be so stupid to say things like this? Hopefully that makes you a little more self aware.

            @lookingforadeal7: Ah, everything is COVID argument, it can't be a coincidence. Faultless. xD

            Major proxy war… Major issues with Chinese economy… Greedflation… Environmental crisis looming… Rebound interest rates because stupid RBA…

            The fact that teachers are sick of being treated like crap by a generation of entitled sociopaths and literally half of them want to leave…

            C'mon now. I know COVID was particularly upsetting for a lot of us. There's big cards on the table. Let's not lose focus about what is actually happening right now. Look objectively.

  With a couple of years to run on our horrendous EBA in Victoria, teaching is in a world of hurt down here. This won't make a dent in fixing it.

  I told my school leaving age kids about this yesterday. Not a single bit of interest.

  High schools are chaotic these days and the kids are out of control whilst the teachers are toothless. Particularly the years 7-9. They've moved the starting ages about to reflect the northern hemisphere August-May year (because stupid) then moved the year 7's to high school. There's literally 11 year olds in high school now because of that, a huge amount of them think they are special (not in the way that everyone is special) and cannot bring themselves to simply sit quiet and learn. Social media has taught them that appearances are everything, so much worse than just cliques like in the old days, and through electronic devices the coercion and bullying runs rampant. The teachers literally don't know what to do…

  Teacher: Go outside.
  Student: No, I don't have to do what you tell me.

  And they are dead right, because the teacher can do nothing else. The dumb kids who don't want to learn are forced into the same classes with the smart kids who do want to learn and no one gets any learning done. Chaos reigns supreme whilst rowdy bullys yell and disrupt, yay, everyone is getting equal opportunities. It's a monumental clusterfk.

  Dunno who has the tough love to change this system, but I don't think they can just throw money at it. It's going to have to be top down and holistic in nature.

    It has always been top down approach since the beginning and look at what it results in.
    Maybe we should try the bottom up, and yes, holistic, approach but that requires some revolutionary changes.

      Yes, I think you are right. I dream of benevolent dictatorships in terms of government agencies but I think the reality of panels and boards doesn't live up to that dream.

      Something like a teachers voice to parliament… like for once they could just listen to the people who are effected by the decisions they are making, and if they make bad decisions that could have actual negative consequences for them personally beyond being handed another portfolio.

  @HamBoi69 A media release is a bad deal link. Please spend a little effort to find the appropriate web page instead of complaining about your early deal post being removed.

    Thanks for editing it for me :)

    I was just copying the previous deal post after you'd edited it.

    instead of complaining about your early deal post being removed.

    Small correction. I didn't post the early deal. It was dealbot

  As a qualified Highschool Teacher, you could not pay me $18000 a year on top of the standard Teacher's wage to go back to higschool teaching.
  The salary, work hours and conditions, expectations were bad enough, add the typical student to the mix and it's simply not worth it.

  Chiming in again as someone who's done all 4 years of a B.Teach/B.Arts - I'm never finishing it for love nor money.

  My best friend's fiancée is a senior English and Humanities teacher and the stories she has of her day to day teaching is making me really glad my 22 year old self decided to forfeit the right to finish the degree back in 2014. As much as I loved teaching in my placement around, no amount of new teachers or money could solve the problems of parents and the admin and bureaucracy that prevent actual meaningful learning and growth.

  The only country this would look even worse on is South Korea so, I'm trying to stay positive.

  Wonder if this makes the rounds to the overseas education agents to find a way of gaming this as a migration pathway too, I'm sure they'll find a loophole around not being a PR

    Good luck to them with the degree
