Teachers in Victoria flock to NSW for better pay, worsening a teacher shortage.

A teacher shortage in Victoria, Australia, is worsening as teachers move to New South Wales (NSW) for better pay. NSW recently offered a 10% pay increase, making its graduate teachers earn over $8,700 more compared to those in Victoria, who are the lowest paid in the country. The pay gap is expected to widen to $10,588 from October next year, raising concerns about further teacher shortages in Victoria.
