Ireland in minority with lack of teacher appraisal

Ireland is one of the few countries in Europe where the performance of teachers is not assessed, according to a new report.

The new study on teaching careers across the continent revealed that in the vast majority of European countries, teacher appraisal is common practice.

While Irish children are regularly tested, the Eurydice study on education systems in 43 nations found that when it comes to secondary school, Ireland is among a tiny minority of countries which don’t evaluate teaching skills.
