Education minister pleas for retired teachers to join supply register
Mon, 31 Jan 2022
The Education Minister has called for retired teachers on the Isle of Man to return to the profession as schools face staff absences.
Educational settings on the Island are facing disruption to in-class learning due to teaching staff being off sick due to illness and Covid-19 isolation.
Julie Edge said her department would process any applications for new supply teachers as "quickly as possible".
Figures show there are 120 supply teachers registered on the Island.
