A SENIOR school leader has accused Minister for Education Mary Coughlan of insulting remarks after she signalled schools were fortunate to retain principals and deputy principals in the current economic climate.
Ferdia Kelly, head of the Joint Managerial Body (JMB) which which represents more than 400 school managers, said he found the Minister’s suggestion “that we are lucky to be able to appoint principals and deputy principals insulting”.
He also took issue with the Minister’s remarks that additional teachers will be provided to meet the projected growth in pupil numbers.
