Contracts ‘may limit options for students’
The recommendation of an expert group on fixed -term and part-time teaching was welcomed by teacher unions last week.
It should see non-permanent teachers entitled to a contract of indefinite duration ) from the next school year, if they have had more than two years on fixed-term contracts in a school. The Haddington Road Agreement had seen that reduced from a four -year period to three years last year, but the two-year recommendation is likely to take effect from next autumn.
