Sector Snapshot - Education Statistics

<h2>The industry</h2>
Education and training is one of the <a href="https://joboutlook.gov.au/industries/industry-profiles?industryCode=P">largest and fastest growing</a> industries in Australia.
The industry includes early childhood education in kindergartens, primary and high school, plus further education at TAFEs and universities.
As a source of jobs, the education and training sector is the <a href="https://www.nationalskillscommission.gov.au/jobs-industry">fifth largest</a> employing industry.
Thanks to the recent introduction of 3-year-old kinder in Victoria, and huge government spending, this sector is driving the jobs market.
<h2>The workers</h2>
In 2020, the education and training sector employed <a href="https://lmip.gov.au/default.aspx?LMIP/GainInsights/EmploymentProjections">1,094,000</a> Australians--a&nbsp; workforce that&rsquo;s expected to grow by 118,000 to 2025.
Of these workers, <a href="https://lmip.gov.au/default.aspx?LMIP/GainInsights/EmploymentProjections">673,000</a> worked in pre-schools in 2020, a number that will grow to 743,400 in 2025.
The workers in education and training are highly educated, with <a href="https://www.nationalskillscommission.gov.au/education-and-training">64 per cent</a> having a bachelor&rsquo;s degree or above.
Only 11 per cent of the workforce have no post-school qualifications.
<a href="https://www.nationalskillscommission.gov.au/education-and-training">71 per cent</a> of workers are female, the second highest for any industry across the country.
Another large portion of the workforce (<a href="https://www.nationalskillscommission.gov.au/education-and-training">22 per cent</a>) is 55 years or older, which suggests that retirements will create further job openings in the coming 10 years.
<h2>The future of education</h2>
The Victorian government is investing big into early childhood education and support for teachers.
Victoria was the first state or territory in Australia to make 3-year-old kinder compulsory and <a href="https://www.education.vic.gov.au/about/programs/Pages/three-year-old-kinder.aspx#:~:text=Victoria%20will%20be%20the%20first,cost%20of%20your%20child%20attending.">free</a> for all kids.
This includes a <a href="https://www.vic.gov.au/kinder">$1 billion</a> investment into 3-year-old kinder, which will create over 6,000 new teaching jobs across the state.
Part of this investment is funding for teaching courses, allowing eligible students to put <a href="https://www.vic.gov.au/kinder">$25,000</a> towards an undergraduate degree.
There are also incentives of between <a href="https://www.education.vic.gov.au/childhood/professionals/profdev/Pages/scholarships.aspx#:~:text=Early%20childhood%20teacher%20incentives,Old%20Kindergarten%20reform%20in%202021.">$9,000 and $50,000</a> to teach early childhood education in regional Victoria.
&ldquo;Early childhood teachers have incredibly valuable jobs and deliver outstanding work &ndash; so we&rsquo;re making sure they have all the support they need to thrive in their careers,&rdquo; said Victorian Education Minister Ingrid Stitt. 
<h2>Jobs</h2>
Jobs in education and training include teaching or assisting at kindergartens and schools and other institutions of learning.
The Australian Government&rsquo;s <a href="http://joboutlook.gov.au">JobOutlook</a> shows that most professions have moderate and strong future growth, meaning jobs will continue to open up in the years to come.
Some of the main occupations include:
<ul>
 <li>Education aids</li>
 <li>Early Childhood (Pre-Primary School) Teachers</li>
 <li>Vocational Education Teachers</li>
 <li>Teachers of English to Speakers of other Languages</li>
</ul>

<h2>Qualifications</h2>
Most jobs in education, especially teaching jobs, require a <a href="https://joboutlook.gov.au/industries/industry-profiles?industryCode=P">university degree</a>.
To become an <a href="https://joboutlook.gov.au/occupations/early-childhood-pre-primary-school-teachers?occupationCode=2411">early childhood teacher</a>, for example, you need a bachelor's degree.
Anyone who wishes to teach in adult education must take a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE40116).
Meanwhile, lower skilled jobs like <a href="https://joboutlook.gov.au/industries/industry-profiles?industryCode=P">teacher's aide</a> can provide a pathway into teaching jobs.
Students who want to study early childhood education and care can study at a low cost or in some cases for free.
Apart from the funding support for bachelor&rsquo;s degrees in this field, many certificates and diplomas are subsidised by JobTrainer or are Free Priority Courses.
