An Irish teacher living in Sydney, observes the influx of young Irish teachers seeking better opportunities and higher pay in Australia.
I think I've solved the problem of the missing teachers. They're living and working in Sydney. I teach in a small special needs/diverse learning school in Sydney’s inner west. We have a classroom staff of around 45, of which about a third are young Irish teachers in their mid-twenties. There is a large table in the staff room which is abuzz with regional accents from around the country.
A few months back we were joined by a teacher from Tyrone which completed the set of staff from all four provinces. Why are they here? Travel and adventure? Lifestyle? They certainly congregate in the beach-side suburbs. Better pay and opportunities? Certainly. The pay rates in Sydney are much higher than London, and I guess higher than Dublin too. What can you do to entice them home? That’s an issue for your Department of Education, but family connections are important to these teachers
