Attract Excellent Teachers, Instructors and Coaches

The educator covenant continues through secondary education, requiring strong professional preparation, competitive conditions, welfare, continuing development, national standards and accountability for academic teachers, technical and vocational instructors, craft professionals who teach, and sports coaches.

These professions need not share identical qualifications, certification, pay structures, workloads or career systems, so those detailed arrangements belong in the Teacher, Technical Education and Sports Education Policy Papers.

The purpose is to make all three secondary pathways credible by ensuring that each is led by capable professionals rather than treating one as the real education and the others as leftovers.
