Teachers are becoming 'punching bags' amid shocking rise in school violence
Between July 1, 2023, and July 15, 2024, more than $18.7m in claims were lodged by the Department of Education and Training staff.
The top 10 claims alone were worth more than $1.26m, with seven related to psychological trauma, anxiety or stress and four from principals.
Peter Fegan labelled this rise in violence in Queensland schools as 'outrageous', saying you can’t blame teachers for walking away from their jobs.
