State’s top educators receive prestigious scholarships

NSW Gov

Fourteen of the State’s best teachers have been recognised with the prestigious Premier’s Teacher Scholarship for their commitment to quality education.

After a two-year pause due to COVID-19, the Premier’s Teacher Scholarship program returned, recognising NSW teachers from government and non-government schools and preschools, and teachers at TAFE NSW Institutes.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said the scholarships provide recipients with up to $15,000 to support a five-week study tour.

“These scholarships provide teachers with the unique opportunity to explore their field of expertise by visiting some of Australia’s highly acclaimed schools and centres for teaching and learning,” Mr Perrottet said.
