Further, schools in rural and remote communities face difficulties attracting teachers, particularly in subjects such as maths, science. There are repeated national projections of teacher shortfall which will affect all schools, with significant numbers of the current ageing teacher workforce expected to retire in the next five years. This shortfall will be most felt in rural schools and communities, as traditionally these are the schools identified as harder to staff CSU is currently exploring potential ways of enhancing rural and remote students’ access to university studies as well as addressing long term staffing needs of the Western schools and communities. This workshop will be an open discussion with secondary principals in relation to: • courses that CSU could design (with school/community input) and offer that would serve schools staffing needs; • Strategies to increase the participation rate of students from rural/remote communities in tertiary studies, particularly through interactive video conferencing delivery; and • Training and supporting indigenous colleagues for employment as AEW and potentially teachers for rural/remote schools. ||
