The occupations of Minor Group 241 School Teachers, who educate students in settings ranging from pre-primary to secondary and special institutions, are already elsewhere classified in ANZSCO.
Applicants whose teaching content is part of the official curriculum (unless it is supplementary tutoring) are excluded from the Private Tutors and Teachers occupations, whether they are generalist or specialist teachers, as both are covered by Minor Group 241 School Teachers.
