What immediate impact are administrative delays in teacher registration having on Victorian schools and students?

Administrative delays in the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) registration process have left Victorian schools without regular classroom teachers well into term one. This has forced schools to utilize costly casual relief teachers while newly hired permanent staff await registration, exacerbating existing teacher shortages. Lilydale High School, for example, paid a casual teacher to work alongside a newly hired, unregistered teacher for weeks.
