"Australia’s teaching workforce does not reflect the diversity of the
Australian community, a situation that has far-reaching implications for our
education system.

As we outline in our new research, published today, teachers are predominantly
Australian-born, female, and non-Indigenous.

Most hail from middle-class backgrounds with urban upbringings, and are less
likely to have disabilities.

So why is this lack of diversity a problem? And what can be done to help
overcome it?"
