New data analysis spells F-A-I-L for Labor
The Palaszczuk-Miles Government has failed teachers across our State.
Shocking new data analysis by the LNP Opposition has revealed WorkCover claims submitted by Queensland teachers have exploded under Labor.
Shockingly, teacher WorkCover claims have soared by an eye-watering 135% under the Palaszczuk-Miles Labor Government.
Queensland teachers have never been less safe in our schools with the cost of these claims skyrocketing by $46.88 million over the past decade.
The latest data shows as of March this year, the total cost of WorkCover Claims reached almost $72 million with the state on track to record one of our worst years on record.
These alarming figures expose the growing Education Crisis that is harming hardworking Queenslanders.
Shadow Education Minister Dr Christian Rowan said if teachers can’t even feel safe at work, is it any wonder they’re frustrated and leaving in droves?
“Our State’s education system is in chaos and crisis under Labor,” Dr Rowan said.
“All teachers, students, parents and school staff should feel safe in schools, and feel safe in their workplace.
“There must be a zero-tolerance approach to violence in our schools.
“Labor has simply stopped listening to frontline teachers and staff who are being subjected to significant physical and psychological safety concerns, including from increasing rates of online abuse.
“Students, parents, teachers and school staff deserve so much better.
“We will continue to raise the alarm on Queensland’s education crisis until change occurs, but the only way for that to happen is if Queenslanders show Labor the door in 2024.
“Only the LNP has the Right Plan for Queensland’s future, including boosting student-to-teacher ratios in schools and cracking-down on inexcusable violence.”
