ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION NO 8
Teachers - Professional Development
MR CORNWELL - asked the Minister for Education and Training on notice on 7 April 1992:
How much money has been allocated for professional development of teachers in the following ACT budgets: 1989-90, 1990-91 and 1991-92.
MR WOOD - the answer to Mr Cornwells question is:
The Department of Education and Training adheres to the Training Guarantee Policy that 1$ of wages is spent on the training and development of its staff. However, almost 2% is currently being expended. Teachers form approximately 76% percent of the Departments full-time equivalent staff and it is considered that teachers would receive at least this proportion of the training and development expenditure.
Analysis of expenditure on Training for the financial year:
1989/90
Total Wages $136,250,000
Total Expenditure on Training (Esteem es) $1,380,899
1990/91
Total Wages $145,000,000
Total Expenditure on Training (Estimates) $2,850,000
Figures for 1991/92 are not yet available. A Training and Development Survey 1991/92 is currently being conducted within the Department and should provide more comprehensive information on expenditure for training in future.
