What about Irish at primary level? Are there plans to have one or two dedicated/fluent teachers attend to the whole school’s needs?
Not sure about primary but post primary requirements are that you complete a certain amount of modules to get your subject registered with the Teaching Council. In the UK you can jump straight in to a teaching qualification without any underlying undergrad so it will be interesting to see what courses they consider equivalent for the purposes of registration.
Unless they are going to register as eligible for ETB etc. so that Norma can spin that they have successfully registered a whole host of new teachers which is technically correct but will make zero difference.
This is a scam brought on by FFG who mostly went to private education or were lucky enough to be from a time when education was valued in the country. FFG want to run down education. There are plenty of trained teachers but they cannot live on the wage being offered.
FFG have got to go. They are destroying the country.
Ah yes
Instead of paying teachers more here after there 4-6 of dedicated training to it after they brought in their new pay scale
Let’s just outsource our education the same way we outsource our healthcare
It’s so backwards – Irish people train here, realise the pay scale is shite, so they go abroad to teach, and the Irish governments solution is to just bring in teachers who are willing to work for less from other countries…
Work abroad – Asia/MA. Much better financially and in many other ways if you can handle being away from mammy. The post 2011 teachers all got shafted. This also seems like a ruse. Pay is better than UK but still meh. Never coming back.
The bigger issue here is that most teachers in Ireland earn very modest salaries and cant afford to buy a house / apartment hence they’re emigrating.
