As NSW schools grapple with a chronic teacher shortage, resignation rates are for the first time outstripping retirement rates, an inquiry has been told.
Teachers Federation's President Angelo Gavrielatos told the parliamentary inquiry the teacher shortage is worsening, with the vacancy list growing by more than three fold in the last two years, when the government announced $125 million recruitment drive.
"That often cited, much heralded strategy has delivered three people from overseas and five mid-career teachers - one of whom has already left," he said on Wednesday.
