Sharp, Kinane Limited

The MoE has extended TA PLD until December 2024.  

Every TA had access to $1000 worth of PLD from accredited providers in 2023. This extension from the MoE means that TA’s can now spend their balance up until December 2024. In addition, if a TA’s PLD balance does not have enough funds left, the school concerned can top up the balance in negotiation with the PLD provider.

Click on the link below to find out how you can apply for centrally funded PLD for your Teacher Aides in 2024. You will also find out the range of courses we are offering to Teacher Aides. If you require more information, please contact us.
