PTANT - Association Member -  2018 School Term Structure Feedback Survey

Background information

The Professional Teachers’ Association of the NT (PTANT) will be presenting a submission to the Minister of Education, the Hon Selena Uibo, regarding the recent changes to the NT school calendar that has seen a change in duration for Terms 1 and 4, and for the stand-down (holiday) periods.

As PTANT represents professional teaching associations, which in turn represent teachers across the NT, we believe we are well-placed to comment on these changes, based on feedback from our member associations.

To facilitate this, we invite associations and their members to contribute by completing the following survey.
