The teacher shortage across Australia has left public school educators feeling burnt out and undervalued – that’s if they haven’t already quit. 

In NSW, a plan to make the state’s teachers among the highest paid in the country helped Labor win the election this year.

So, what went wrong?

Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper and public schools advocate Jane Caro on how teachers keep being let down in Australia.
