The following response has been provided by the Minister for Education, and I provide it on behalf of the Leader of the House.(1) There were 664.(2) There were 514.(3) There were 253. Teaching staff are defined as all staff employed under the Teachers Award, excluding school psychologists. It is not possible to separate primary and secondary teachers in the department's staff exit survey as it is anonymous. Response figures are representative of the survey completion date and are not necessarily aligned with resignation date. Therefore, the responses in (3) may not be from the staff identified in (1) and (2). Teachers—Resignations
