Shadow Minister for Early Childhood and Edcation Jess Wilson said the teacher shortage was getting worse in Victoria.
“No student can achieve their best learning in a doubled-up classroom or by being sent home at lunch because Labor cannot manage our teaching workforce,” she said.
“Despite claiming to have spent more than $1.6 billion since 2019 on workforce initiatives – the situation is getting worse and students’ educational outcomes continue to fall.”
