A third of teachers considering going abroad for better opportunities

TUI said cuts made in 2009 were never fully restored and have contributed to an increased workload, teacher burnout, and reduced promotional opportunities within schools.

More than a third of teachers would consider leaving Ireland to teach abroad, a survey has found.

The survey from the Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) highlighted the serious concerns its members had about the profession's attractiveness and about posts of responsibility in schools.
