The Educational Services (Teachers) Award 2020 applies to employers throughout Australia in the school education industry, children’s services and early childhood education industry and their employees to the exclusion of any other Modern Award.
“School education industry” means the provision of education, including preschool or early childhood education, in a school registered and/or accredited under the relevant authority in each State or Territory or in early childhood service operated by a school and includes all operations of the school.
Where the provision of school education is directed, managed and/or controlled by a central or regional administration of a system of schools it may also include the persons involved in providing such services to schools.
Teacher means a person employed as such by a school, children’s service or early childhood education service and who performs duties which include delivering an educational program, assessing student participation in an education program, administering an education program and performing other duties incidental to the delivery of the education program. So as to remove any doubt, teacher includes a teacher in a senior leadership position, but not a principal or deputy principal.
