Stipend for teachers

http://iriefm.net/news/headline/temporary-jobs-unemployed-teachers

I wonder why it is that trained professionals are being offered temporary employment in entry level jobs. It is even more insulting that they will not be paid a proper salary but a stipend.

Certainly, there are not enough schools in the island to employ all the unemployed teachers. However, policies and programmes can be put in place to absorb them. This practice of having an overcrowded classroom of 50 students can be solved.
Instead of putting the teachers in jobs they were not trained for they could be placed in the overcrowded classrooms as assistant teachers.
Secondly, the unethical practice of teaching part of the syllabus in class and the rest in extra lessons must stop. Those who cannot afford the extra lessons will get left behind.I know of many teachers who make more in the extra lessons than their monthly salaries from the  Education. We must pay close attention to the many ills of the education system.


Have a High Flyer day!!!!
