The IEU welcomes 100 more public preschools. But most NSW pre-schoolers now go to not-for-profit, community-based preschools which should also be properly funded, with fair pay for teachers/educators. We call for quality early education in all preschools! smh.com.au/politics/nsw/the-…

The sites for Sydney’s new public preschools revealed

The Minns government has finalised the 100 sites around the state that will have public preschools for the first time.

Last year we saw unprecedented pay increases for teachers and support staff in government and Catholic systemic schools. Now it is time for independent schools to match the pay rises in other education sectors. publications.ieu.asn.au/news…

The IEU salutes outgoing @TeachersFed President @AGavrielatos. In 2022 the IEU & Teachers Federation under Angelo's leadership stood together to smash the then NSW Govt's salary cap and ultimately achieve historic pay rises for teachers. ✊Teachers united will never be defeated!
