| School teachers and principals are "drowning in paperwork", costing them critical time for preparing classes and threatening their core job of educating children, research has found.
A University of Sydney study of more than 18,000 public school teachers and principals across NSW found 97.3 per cent reported an increase in administration duties over the past five years. More than 95 per cent were spending more time on analysing and reporting data.
While their paperwork has dramatically increased, teachers and principals say administration and curriculum support from the NSW Department of Education has decreased. This has led teachers to do an increasing amount of work at home to avoid the extra burden having an impact on students in the classroom.
