Ms Berry: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

This information is not held centrally. ACT public schools plan and manage their workforce profile based on their individual school educational programs and priorities, the needs of their students and communities. Principals strive to allocate their staffing budget to meet a wide range of needs, which vary from school to school in terms of complexity, resourcing and requirements.

All students, when using school libraries are supported by either a qualified teacher librarian or other suitably qualified education professional, to assist them in engaging in their learning.
