Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion

Mr. Frank Jones:

Absolutely. We have a lot of people who make commitments far beyond what has been recognised in salary or a contract and remain within the sector at enormous personal cost. In many cases, we are coming across members who are in their late thirties before they secure contracts of indefinite duration or tenure and it is only then that they can start to purchase houses and start families. We are not losing them all but those we are keeping are being kept at enormous personal cost to themselves. A lot can be done. If the recommendations and decisions of this committee were acted upon, a lot would be done.
