A NEW campaign featuring teachers from public schools across NSW has been launched to encourage people to pursue a rewarding career in teaching.
Minister for Education and Early Learning, Sarah Mitchell, unveiled the campaign as part of events taking place in schools and communities across the State to celebrate World Teachers’ Day.
Ms Mitchell said the ‘Teaching Opens Doors’ campaign showcases the unique benefits, opportunities and impact of a career in teaching, not only for students, but for teachers themselves.
“I can’t think of a better way to celebrate World Teachers’ Day than to shine a light on some of the fantastic, dedicated teachers we have working in our public schools right across NSW,” Ms Mitchell said.
“This campaign shows how teaching as a career has ‘opened doors’ to many opportunities both within and outside the classroom. It’s just one part of our plan to attract more teachers to the profession, including looking at how we can build on existing career opportunities to reward excellence in teaching.”
