The Problem
Teaching is drowning in admin
Australian teachers spend more time on paperwork than any other OECD country. It doesn't have to be this way.
⏱

Sunday night planning

Teachers spend 6-10 hours per week planning lessons, creating resources, and writing assessments. Most of it is repetitive.

54 hours average teacher work week in Australia
📄

Report card marathon

Writing 25+ individual student reports twice a year takes weeks. Every comment needs to be personalised and curriculum-aligned.

2-3 weeks spent on reports per semester

ChatGPT doesn't know ACARA
