Some teachers are employed on short-term contracts, and the aim is to get them into contracts of indefinite duration as quickly as possible. Many teachers begin on temporary contracts, and that is an issue in the teaching profession. An expert group was set up by my predecessor to address the issue of permanency for teachers and I hope to implement its recommendations by the start of the next school year.
