Why Teachers Are Leaving Ireland for Abroad

According to new research teachers are under more pressure than ever - and the Teachers Union of Ireland says keeping them in the job is now as big a challenge as recruiting them. Valerie is joined by Seamus from Well to Teach to unpack what’s really driving burnout, from workload and paperwork to “initiative overload” and constant new curriculum changes. Seamus also explains why so many teachers are struggling to secure stable contracts, the impact of housing and cost-of-living, and why some feel pushed towards teaching abroad.
