The Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) urges the Government to make the teaching profession more attractive, warning that keeping teachers in the system has become a major challenge. The union says teacher retention is now “as big a challenge as initial recruitment,” alongside concerns about conditions that make teaching less appealing.
Across the outlets, the union also links retention difficulties to workload, saying teachers are increasingly diverted from teaching by administrative duties. BreakingNews.ie and RTÉ highlight the pressure caused by growing administration, while the Irish Mirror focuses on the comparison between retention and recruitment as competing problems. The reports agree the union is calling for policy and practical steps, but they do not specify particular measures or timelines.
