Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Education, Melina Bath, has congratulated families and disability advocates for forcing the State Government to backflip on its decision to cut 85 Visiting Teacher Service jobs. The Visiting Teacher Service (VTS) supports children with disabilities and serious medical conditions statewide. Last month the government announced it was cutting 117 VTS specialised teaching jobs down to 32 to the dismay of students and families who rely on it. Ms Bath said it was good news for regional students and their families that the government had backed down, however the cuts should never have been considered in the first place.
