Quote from: Knock Yer Mucker In on February 27, 2024, 03:34:18 PMI have a son who is a teacher, temporary contract from September to June, does not get paid for A/L, going on 3 years now. Therefore does not get paid for three months of the yea. He is seriously considering leaving the profession. Can't get a mortgage as job is not secure. The number of friends he knows on similar situation.
Genuine question.
If there is such a shortage of young teachers, then how is it that there are such a number of young teachers stuck on temporary contracts and unable to secure a permanent post?
What am I missing here, because I can't see any explanation for this glaring discrepancy?
