Principal positions left vacant due to workload [IrishExaminer]
- Published: 23 July 2010
SCHOOLS are being forced to advertise for a new principal up to four times because of the dearth of interest in the job among teachers.
The Irish Primary Principals’ Network said this situation has already faced three schools it is aware of this year, with more than a dozen more seeking suitable applicants on three occasions.
The organisation’s EducationPosts.ie website has taken ads for 161 principal jobs since January, but the number of schools re-posting the jobs has risen by more than half in the past two months alone.
