Tasmanian teachers may soon be taking stop-work action in the upcoming term 1, as they demand better working conditions and pay.
Despite the fact that over 5000 teachers are set to receive a pay increase on March 1, they have not received a final offer from the government.
The Tasmanian education sector is facing challenges, with conflicting views between the government and the Education Union over funding and support.
Education Minister Roger Jaensch claims that the government is making a record investment in education, but Education Union President David Genford alleges a shortage of teachers and underfunding in the sector.
The situation has led to frustration and concern among the teaching community, who feel that they are not being valued or supported in their roles.
The union is seeking additional support staff, including school psychologists and social workers, to address the increasing mental health problems among students.
