QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Gallop Government’s undertaking in February 2001 that it would create 500 traineeships in the public service, 800 apprenticeships, and 800 industry training positions, and that one-third of these positions would be in the country. (1) How many of each of these positions have been created? (2) How many have been taken up? (3) How many were in the country? Mr A.J. CARPENTER
AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(3) I thank the member for his question and for his outstanding work as a member of Parliament in his area, and for his advocacy in education in particular. This is a very good question. The results outlined in the answer are outstanding for the Government and for Western Australia. As the member said, the Gallop Government undertook in February 2001 to create 500 traineeships, 800 apprenticeships and 800 industry positions. The statistical information provided to me by the Department of Education and Training indicates the following. We promised 500 traineeships in the public service, and, as of 29 March, we delivered 754, which is 50 per cent above the target. We promised 800 apprenticeships, and, as of 2002-03, 1 268 were created and taken up, which is 50 per cent above the target. Also, we promised 800 industry training positions, and 6 328 training positions were created and taken up as at 2002-03, which is eight times the target of 800. We also promised that one-third of these positions would be in the country. However, 32 per cent of apprenticeships and 34 per cent of trainees are in the country. Mr R.A. AINSWORTH: Mr Speaker! Mr A.J. CARPENTER: I want to get through this answer and keep it short and brief. I alert Parliament to one other important point. Western Australian state schoolteachers today accepted the enterprise bargaining agreement put to them at the end of last year. I agree with State School Teachers Union Secretary Mike Keely who praised the agreement, particularly class size cuts, improved salaries for senior teachers and better preparation time for primary schoolteachers. I also take the opportunity to praise the State’s schoolteachers. We have an outstanding schoolteaching community in Western Australia that does a magnificent job. The EBA period has been difficult. It is unfortunate that the system works in this way. It is a very good offer. I leave the answer on this point: teachers not currently in receipt of the senior teachers’ allowance who have 24 months service at the top of the teachers’ scale, level 2.3, and who undertake the required professional development measures, will move to senior teacher level 1 at 1 July 2004, and progress by annual increments to senior teacher level 2 in July 2005. By 2006, that group of teachers will have moved from a salary of $56 000 to $64 000, which is a 14.35 per cent increase. This is an outstanding result for the schoolteachers of Western Australia.

I leave the answer on this point: teachers not currently in receipt of the senior teachers’ allowance who have 24 months service at the top of the teachers’ scale, level 2.3, and who undertake the required professional development measures, will move to senior teacher level 1 at 1 July 2004, and progress by annual increments to senior teacher level 2 in July 2005. By 2006, that group of teachers will have moved from a salary of $56 000 to $64 000, which is a 14.35 per cent increase. This is an outstanding result for the schoolteachers of Western Australia.
Mr R.A. AINSWORTH: Mr Speaker! Mr A.J. CARPENTER: I want to get through this answer and keep it short and brief. I alert Parliament to one other important point. Western Australian state schoolteachers today accepted the enterprise bargaining agreement put to them at the end of last year. I agree with State School Teachers Union Secretary Mike Keely who praised the agreement, particularly class size cuts, improved salaries for senior teachers and better preparation time for primary schoolteachers. I also take the opportunity to praise the State’s schoolteachers. We have an outstanding schoolteaching community in Western Australia that does a magnificent job. The EBA period has been difficult. It is unfortunate that the system works in this way. It is a very good offer.
