"There are an estimated 24,000-plus students who study by distance education in
Australia.
While their lessons are delivered remotely, by law, all of these students still
need to be supervised by somebody in person. This is the role of the “remote
education tutor”, who is the link between the student and the teacher.
Despite the vital work they do, there is no prerequisite or formal
qualification for this role, and no precise data on their number, as their work
is often misrepresented as parenting, childcare or nannying.
We need to start recognising this key educational role as a career."
