Teachers make an important contribution to the lives of young people and help shape the future of our country – yet few opportunities arise to recognise the true value of the role they play within the community.
The NEiTA teaching awards
Launched in Australia in 1994 by the Australian Scholarships Group, the National Excellence in Teaching Awards (NEiTA) program aims to recognise and honour excellent teachers from local communities and to encourage students to enter the teaching profession.
The ASG Inspirational Teacher Awards
This year NEiTA have launched the new ASG Inspirational Teacher Awards, which honour inspirational teachers who contribute to education and the community. The awards exemplify NEiTA's new focus on recognising teachers who inspire and encourage students, building confidence and sparking creativity.
