QUESTION 507
Teacher Transfers
MR HUMPHRIES: - asked the Minister for Education and Training on notice on 16 February 1993:
(1) How many drama teachers have been compulsorily transferred from colleges since 1989 (a) from one college to another and (b) from a college to a high school.
(2) How many English teachers have been compulsorily transferred from colleges since 1989 (a) from one college to another and (b) from a college to a high school.
(31 How many drama teachers have been transferred voluntarily from college to college since 1989.
(4) According to the ACT Education Departments policy on transfers what are the definitions of (a) "substantive appointment"; (b) "date of appointment"; (c) voluntary transfer"; and (d) "compulsory transfer".
(5) What guidelines exist concerning application of tie Australian Teachers Union "first in - first out" policy for teachers.
(6) Are ACT teachers permitted access to all their personal files; if so, what are the administrative requirements to obtain such access.
MR WOOD - the answer to Mr Humphries question is:
It is not possible to provide definitive answers to questions (1), (2) and (3) because the relevant information is not kept :n a format which enables extraction of the detail requested. Departmental records are concerned with the staffing of each school and system totals, not moves between school F.
When placements to positions are made the information published is position number, name of the teacher transferred and whether the teacher was a compulsory or voluntary transferee. There is no information about a teachers previous location.
The information provided below is based on the Level 1 Transfer Round of each year. It should be noted that other placements are made after the main transfer round. Details of these transfers are recorded only on personal files. The system database (Staff List System ) does not record data about subject areas of individual teachers or of individual teaching positions.
