Top teachers in NSW could be offered higher paid roles under a plan to reward the most accomplished and stem the brain drain, but the plan has been criticised for pitting teachers against one another.
Education Minister Sarah Mitchell said creating a stronger career path for classroom teachers which better rewards top performers was key to modernising the education system and attracting more people to the profession.
"This is about finding new ways to work with the profession to recognise excellence," Ms Mitchell told reporters on Thursday.
