QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Western Australian College of Teaching (WACOT) Annual Report 2010-11, Page 8 and the reference to 25,000 registered teachers reaching the end of their initial period of registration, and I ask:
(a) if 11,669 of those 25,000 teachers applied for and were granted a second period of registration, are the remaining 13,331 teachers no longer registered and therefore not teaching within Western Australia;
(b) if no to (1) what is the explanation as to the teaching status of the remaining 13,331 teachers;
(c) has the Government, either through WACOT or another Government agency, attempted to determine:
(i) whether any of the 13,331 have left the teaching profession and if so how many;
(ii) why 13,331 did not seek re-registration; and
(iii) if any or all of the 13,331 have left the teaching profession, what their reasons for leaving the profession were?
