50% of cost rentals and social housing kept for people who work in trades, health and teaching. They get a discount on rent while they hold job in public service and if they choose to leave they loose the discount.
> New initiatives, including targeted bursaries for teachers and a universal teaching qualification, will have to be considered to resolve recruitment challenges faced by schools, particularly around Dublin, the Department of Education believes.
> Briefing documents prepared by the department for new Minister for Education Hildegarde Naughton on her appointment last month noted 1,228 unfilled positions in primary schools, 621 at second level and 60 in special education, according to previously unpublished figures.
What’s a “universal teaching qualification”? If we wanted to increase the supply of teachers we could abolish the failed Master’s Education experiment and go back to the H.Dip.Ed., or allow multiple pathways to teaching like England does. Allowing British teachers to get jobs in Ireland would probably evaporate the crisis tomorrow, seeing as the pay and conditions there are far worse.
It’s incredible how all-encompassing the housing and infrastructure deficit is. This problem, like many many others, is almost entirely caused by a lack of affordable housing. The “solution” to pay teachers more is another classic example of the government shovelling money at symptoms of the issue.
Not to be overly simplistic, but actually solving housing in this country would probably solve about half of the other problems we have too.
Proper contracts that give teachers job security.
Common sense towards subjects teachers can teach. For example someone with a physics degree probably won’t be allowed to teach maths.
That would solve a huge amount straight away.
Just accelerate LLM teaching tool, it’s the future anyway time to embrace it.
Why is every single initiative or idea just giving money away? Are we not already complaining about runaway government spending? God forbid we build in any structural efficiency.
The contracts for teaching are dirt. Who’s willing to slog through part time and sometimes seasonal work with bad conditions and pay for years until they get a permanent full time position?
