This from the dept. website,

seems CID in year 3 will still remain if not offered permanent role.Seems confusing

Teachers still have to do an interview again at the end of year one. This is the main part of the hiring process I absolutely hate. Many fantastic teachers I have seen not get back to a school. It definitely wasn’t due to not being a good teacher, lazy, unqualified or not doing extracurricular. What I can see it was due to nepotism or GAA / parochial politics. This will never change in education or politics. Many teachers who left CID jobs to move closer to home overlooked by NQTs who were basically told before the interview the job was their job 😡 The way interviews are conducted needs to change and need to be more transparent.

This has a serious smell of the 'Doctors and nurses come home to Ireland for the Covid emergency and we promise you all jobs' about it.

That won't change whether CIDs are given after one year or two. Schools that hire on that basis will always find a way to give the job to the person they want regardless. It also won't fix the vacancies issue across the country, but mainly in Dublin. People can't afford to live there and there's very few houses to rent. Permanent jobs won't change that. What it might change is the ability of a teacher to move to a different part of the country and hopefully be able to become permanent quickly rather than scrambling for hours.

Allowing teachers to move freely (if school has a vacancy) and retain permanency might help....take that out of local management's hands....would that help I wonder or would it be way too complicated to administer?

How can a teacher be non-qualified?

Does that mean they don’t have the HDIP?

I have a BSc in physics and chemistry so could I just rock up and apply for a teaching role?

Does it not make the HDIP superfluous if it isn’t needed to begin with?

Is there someone,anyone out there who will actually do something other than talk,set up committees.talking shops etc.

Get rid of nepotism,gaa, local politics,etbs ( all small letters, as they do not deserve capitals!),when it comes to recruiting teachers, as they are all a shower of C.U.Next Tuesday's and some of them are seen as pillars of society,what is wrong with this feckin country!

You could do the work but you couldn't be offered the longer-term contract. Even with a PME including physics and chemistry, you may end up a de-facto maths teacher, for which you still couldn't be offered the contract. This happened to my colleague. People don't realise how many anomalies like this there are.

That’s a farce and the situation is unfair on the pupils AND the teachers.

The teachers having to teach outside of their comfort zone and the pupils getting an under qualified teacher.

A PME taking two years is bit much too, no? Why was it previously one year, now two? Is it padded out with extra rubbish modules?

You mean you don't cite the Education Act 1695 every day?

Two years was necessary to bring it from diploma level (HDip) to Masters Level (PME).

reaching? Sounds dodgy
