Teachers are doing a lot more with less

YOUR editorial (Nov 30) alleging disinterest from teachers on the country’s economic situation could not be further from the truth.

Every teacher and their family is confronted by it daily.

Did you forget that all teachers have already taken a 14% salary cut, new teachers an additional 12% and all are paying increased rates of income tax and charges? Like many others in society, teachers are doing more with less. How else were 10,000 additional children enrolled in schools when the number of teachers was reduced by a thousand?
