NSW addresses teacher shortage by re-engaging 100+ retired teachers with increased pay and reduced hours.

NSW faces a teacher shortage, prompting the Department of Education's Teachers Re-Engage initiative to bring over 100 retired teachers back to work. These educators, including Vaughan Ellen, receive increased pay and reduced hours for part-time work. The NSW government has seen a 20% decrease in teacher vacancies, but continues to address the issue, aiming to understand why teachers left and how to attract more to rural areas with planned school upgrades.
