In che modo una scuola con € 8.000 dovrebbe pagare le bollette per un valore di € 10.000?

Short version: The article highlights the growing crisis faced by primary school principals in Ireland, using the story of four women who became principals around the same time as a starting point. Within three years, only one remained in the role—driven nearly to breaking point by the challenges of leading a disadvantaged (Deis) school. Research from Deakin University, commissioned by the Irish Primary Principals Network, confirms this is not an isolated issue. It shows school leaders experience significantly higher rates of burnout, stress, sleep disorders, and depression than the general working population.

Despite modest increases in government funding, such as a rise in the capitation grant from €200 to €224 per pupil annually, the article argues this is insufficient to address chronic underfunding. Some schools are resorting to delaying utility payments to stay afloat. To sustain the education system and protect the wellbeing of its leaders, the article calls for urgent investment: a basic capitation grant of €400 per pupil, additional support for Deis schools, and major infrastructural upgrades. Without this, it warns, both school leaders and the integrity of Ireland’s primary education system are at risk.

If the government isnt funding them then it means every other person or company being paid late is funding them
