Do VET teachers need to be qualified as teachers?
28 February 2011, by Assoc Prof Leesa Wheelahan
There is unprecedented attention being paid to vocational education and training teachers at present. The LH Martin Institute has recently completed a project on the quality of teaching in VET, funded by the Department of Education Employment and Workplace Relations and managed by the Australian College of Educators; the Productivity Commission is conducting an inquiry on the future of the VET workforce; and the National Centre for Vocational Education Research has just completed some major projects on VET teachers. These are only a few of a range of recent projects on VET teaching.
