Cash incentive offered to Melbourne teachers | Sky News AustraliaCash incentives of up to $50,000 will be offered to teachers who are willing to work in Melbourne's toughest schools.\n\nTeachers remaining in those hard-to-fill roles will also be eligible for payments of up to $9,000 a year for three years.\n\nMore than 40 executive principals will also be employed in the most difficult leadership roles in Metro schools.\n\nThe incentive is part of a $240 million package to improve the quality of teaching in schools, making it the biggest ever investment in Victoria's education system. Is $50k enough? Read this short thread to see if $50k would be worth it. 50k isn't worth your life in a country where there are no consequences for murder. Wouldn’t it be better to offer them that as a bonus if they succeed in teaching kids in these toughest schools. They would feel (teachers) like they are being challenged rather than instead of being bribed.
