Moghrey Mie Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 (edited) If x teachers work for y hours for five years how much will this cost? Answers to the Department of Education, Sport and Culture. No wonder departments go over budget. https://www.three.fm/news/isle-of-man-news/education-department-doesnt-know-total-cost-of-supply-teachers/ Edited October 4 by Moghrey Mie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local students have always gone to Edge Hill to train as teachers. It's the training that matters not what A Levels you got. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my best teachers only had a Cert Ed, but they'd been too busy fighting a war to pick up other qualifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't even pass them yourself, how likely is it for the kids you're teaching to pass them? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxman1980 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 In fairness I don't think my employer could say how much was spent on agency workers. The payments are accounted for but I think the Finance Team puts them in the accounts in some strange places. What sounds like a simple report to run ends up being very convoluted.

I'd expect a teacher of Further Maths to have a degree in the subject, but a primary school teacher, probably not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 A friend of mine, recently retired teacher earns around £1,100 a week as a supply teacher. Admittedly no sick, pay, holidays and pension, but he already collects that too! Nice work if you can get it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally am aware of more than 1 teacher who have no A levels whatsoever but have got several hundred kids through A levels over the years. Not all Level 3 qualifications are A levels. If you don’t understand the system, how likely is it you’ll make a ridiculous comment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivy Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 7 hours ago, Mikimoto said: Are teachers still the ones who got 2 EEs and ended up at Edge Hill? Nah. Back in the 90's you only needed one 'E' to get into Edge Hill for anything as it wasn't a real university. The "degrees" were signed off by Lancaster University, in the same way that UCM degrees are signed off by Chester University now. A friend of mine re-sat their GCSE maths FIVE TIMES to get a C-grade so they could graduate with their degree in primary teaching from Edge Hill and get a job (a teaching job requires a 'C' in Maths and English). An Edge Hill degree in anything from the 1990's or 2000's isn't worth the paper it's written on. They'd have been better getting a trade and they'd be earning more money.

They have zero hours contracts. Their rates are the same as teachers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That degree can be a degree in teaching or anything. You need the subject degree (or similar) for secondary education. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
