The party wants to see 250 more full-time-equivalent teachers employed, supported by 200 more teacher assistants.

Greens education spokeswoman Andrea Dawkins said teachers on average spent an average of 10 hours each week having to do administrative tasks which could be performed by teacher assistants.

The party wants 30 laboratory technicians, 30 more social workers, 30 speech pathologists, 73 school psychologists, and three trauma-informed specialists.

“Childhood trauma can impact on a person for life,” Ms Dawkins said.

“If we can get the professionals in to our schools, working with these young people and their families, we can make a huge difference to their life outcomes.”

At present, allocation of disability funding is based on student IQs rather that particular needs.

”The Greens propose extending the current pilot program across the state, to speed up the new model and ensure every young person gets the support they need in schools regardless of their ability,” Ms Dawkins said.

The party has supported a review of the Liberals’ year 11 and 12 extension across state schools to ensure it doesn’t undermine the college system and those schools with extensions have the capacity to deliver desired outcomes.

Australian Education Union president Helen Richardson said the Greens were the first party to come out with a strong education platform and had responded to the union’s calls for additional staffing numbers.
