		Teachers are teachers and the continuous attempts to add to their teaching load is not acceptable to the Federation.

	Australian Education Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The NSW Teachers Federation or Teachers Fed was founded during a period of massive Australian industrial union and trade union militancy in 1919.
		However, as these militant teachers seek to defend education standards, and due to the adverse publicity of strikes, the teachers unions use industrial action as a last resort over occupational health and safety issues or during award or enterprise bargaining periods.
		Teachers were primarily educated in Technical colleges, fully funded by the state government, and indentured to Government employment in rural or remote districts for a long period.

	Teachers defend protest pamphlet \| The Courier-Mail
		Federal Workplace Relations Minister Kevin Andrews said today it was inappropriate for the union to use students as postboxes to hand out the anti-Work Choices material.
		Mr Andrews today told Federal Parliament the distribution of the pamphlet was a blatant example of NSW unions seeking to politicise the state's schools system.
		"It's this sort of behaviour from the teachers' union in NSW which is part of the reason that the Prime Minister said this week that parents are increasingly voting with their feet and moving from the public schools system into the independent schools system,'' Mr Andrews said.

		NSW Teachers' Federation deputy president Angelo Gavrielatos said teachers felt strongly about the 25 per cent payrise demand over which they protested on Wednesday, but the refugee issue was important enough to lay aside their differences with the government for one day.

		The Teachers Federation commented: "Compelling research shows that children who have spent their first four years of school in small classes have better literacy and numeracy outcomes and achieve self-discipline earlier".
		The recommendations of the Grimshaw report, many of which have been implemented already, include the establishment of a "quality assurance" system (which will be used by private schools to argue for increased funding), and the establishment of a private schools council, (which will in effect act as a lobby group for private education).
		The Teachers Federation has welcomed the Government's decision to retain Marrickville and Dulwich Hill High Schools, but is under no illusions about the difficulties it faces in dealing with either of the two major parties as governments in NSW.

	NSW ACT Independent Education Union: Newsmonth: Volume 24 No 4 - June 2004: Setting the record straight on Special Case
		The union has been concerned by some of the public statements from the NSW Teachers Federation over the differing outcomes for promotions positions as awarded by the Industrial Commission.
		As a result of taking this special case, teachers in NSW Catholic and Government schools now have the highest award rates of pay in Australia and award rates for those holding promotions positions in NSW Catholic schools have established a new benchmark for teacher unions elsewhere.
		While the IEU and Catholic employers argued that no discount was warranted the IRC determined "on balance and without some reservations" to apply the same increase in the Catholic sector as the Government sector due to the nexus in salaries, similar work value considerations and the similar patterns of wage adjustments since 1990.
