The Queensland Teachers’ Union have demanded a stockpile of tests to be available onsite for teachers at state schools when classes return.
This comes as the Queensland government is set to release its plan for when school commences from January 31, however Premier Annastacia Palasczuk has already noted this plan will be delayed until Education Minister Grace Grace has made a recovery from COVID-19.
The union’s president Cresta Richardson has said staff should be able to have access to RAT tests, so they can ensure whether they can work if they have symptoms.
