Fewer Australians are entering the teaching profession, generating an ongoing tussle with unions and universities to attract enough teachers, Queensland's Education Minister Grace Grace says.
Ms Grace says Queensland education authorities would provide 3700 more teachers over the next four years and were ahead of projections to provide the extra 7000 teachers.
Ms Grace said she was interested in options to increase the attractiveness of teaching, including a review of the two-year Graduate Diploma in (Secondary) Teaching course and talking to federal authorities about waiving HECS debts for teacher training.
