Behind the Budget Ask

Teacher Talk with the INTO

Show Notes

New mini-series on our demand for 1,000 more primary teachers funded from Budget 2027.

The first episode is an insightful and accessible explainer on the campaign.

Did you know? ...

• The Government has committed to reducing class sizes to the EU average of 19 • Yet the last three budgets have seen zero action on this promise to voters • With no changes made to the appointment and retention figures for primary teachers, 80% of Irish primary school pupils are learning in supersized classes!

Visit the INTO's Budget 2027 campaign page, where you can email your TDs to demand they support our union's call for 1,000 more primary teachers for our children to THRIVE!

Our schools need support – Email your TDs! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
