Closed 28 Jun 2024

Opened 13 Jun 2024

Overview

The recruitment and retention of qualified teachers in certain subjects have become increasingly difficult across Northern Ireland. Whilst the Department acknowledges this trend, we currently lack concrete data to accurately assess the extent and impact of this issue. The Department therefore now wishes to undertake a comprehensive survey across all schools in Northern Ireland.

The primary aim of this survey is to gather precise information on the challenges schools are facing in recruiting and retaining teachers.
