>Some 77% of schools advertised positions in the previous six months for which no teacher applied, while 64% of schools still have unfilled vacancies, according to a new survey.
Headline is a little misleading but it’s still a shocking finding.
Shockingly when you don’t give permanent contracts, pay fuck all, and don’t give people enough hours to survive, you tend to not get any applications….
It seems an awful lot of the jobs advertised at the moment, are to cover for maternity leave or are for part time positions.
Not surprised at all, shit work conditions, short term contracts, shite pay, yer grand
Shocker, part time contract role in inner city school not filled.
Oh no, the consequences of our actions.
(Forcing teachers to travel up and down the country looking and begging to get a permanent contract somewhere, and when they do after 5/6 years of trying get offered a PC, they can’t take it because it’s in an urban area with stupid high rents)
Just give **qualified teachers** a bit of respect and give them permanent contracts
Norma foley is an absolute joke.
It probably doesn’t help that primary / secondary positions are gated behind a PME specifically.
I have a masters in TESOL. I moved abroad and taught students of that age group in a language school. I’ve worked in foreign universities as a teacher trainer. I’ve created university syllabi for language learning theory. I’ve helped create government sponsored material and training videos for new teachers in the country I lived.
Yet if I wanted to do teaching here I’d have to dedicate 2 more years of my life to doing a PME despite literally knowing and having done / actually taught almost everything on the course.
Funny isnt it when you pay people enough they come and work for you
I considered moving in to teaching about a decade ago, since I would be qualified to teach Maths or Physics at Secondary level, but there’s no way I can take two years off work, unpaid, while living in Dublin.
edit: I’m being told that I should not be concerned about things I’ve read about men in teaching, so nothing to see there. If there’s any problem or concern, it’s the guy’s fault.
But look so much GDP and sovereign fund.
Isn’t that true for all recruitment? Because the only thing that’s never allowed to inflate in price of labour.
Teachers had to change their careers because there were “no jobs”.
Because it’s a shit job.
Half the jobs that are online are already filled in-house too.
