The IEU has made a detailed submission to the Productivity Commission’s interim report Building a Skilled and Adaptable Workforce. While the report acknowledges the profound impact of AI in schools and the systemic problem of teacher workloads, much more is needed to guarantee worker protections and a comprehensive plan to reduce workloads.
The interim report contains eight draft recommendations covering aspects of schools and education, post-secondary skills and qualifications and occupational entry requirements.
Drawing on member feedback and real-world experience of teachers and school leaders, the IEU submission focuses on the two recommendations dealing with schools and student outcomes:
- Draft Recommendation 1.1: Access to centralised lesson planning materials for teachers
- Draft Recommendation 1.2: Equitable access to education technology and AI
