Education verified

NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning (since March 2023). Her signature education policy has been addressing the teacher shortage via the largest teacher pay rise in a generation, lifting starting salaries from $75,791 to $85,000 and top-of-scale from $113,042 to $122,100 (October 2023). She framed it as rebuilding public education after the previous Coalition government 'watched on as student outcomes declined and the state was in the grip of a teacher shortage crisis.'
