Abstract
From the beginnings of a system of public education
in New South Wales in the middle of the nineteenth century
the teachers attempted to form organisations to represent
their many interests. Before 1895 they had not succeeded
in forming lasting organisations but by the first years
of the twentieth century the foundations of a teachers’
trade union and professional organisation were laid.
Although reconstituted in 1918, this organisation has
had a stable existence throughout the educational
changes, wars and depression of this century. The themes
traced through this story include the relationship between
teachers’ organisations and educational administrators,
the aspects of teachers’ work experience reflected in
their organisations, the development of institutions
concerned with both ’professional’ and ’industrial’
matters and the relationship of teachers’ social and
political attitudes to those of other groups in society.
