'Criminal' teachers in NSW schools
Jan 4^th, 2008 at 8:40am

http://news.smh.com.au/criminal-teachers-in-nsw-schools/20080103-1k32.html

More than 120 new teachers with criminal records were employed in NSW public schools last year, News Limited reports.

Data obtained under Freedom of Information by The Daily Telegraph showed 263 applicants for classroom teaching jobs had criminal pasts with 52 were employed in government primary schools and 76 in secondary schools.

The data from 7,084 teacher applicants during six months from November 2006 to May 2007 shows 263 applicants had a "general criminal history".

But the Department of Education can not reveal the nature of the offences or jail times as it destroys the records.
