Housing crisis threatens education system, unions warn

Six unions issued a joint statement warning the housing crisis now risks the effective delivery of education services.

The housing crisis threatens the education system, as schools and colleges struggle to recruit staff and homelessness remains a “far too familiar feature” in Irish education.

That’s the warning from 110,000 teachers, special needs assistants (SNAs), lecturers, and staff working in schools, colleges, and education centres across the country.
