- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Key Issues for the Teaching Council: Discussion (3 Jul 2024)
Paul Kehoe: I thank the Teaching Council. Any time I have made a query on behalf of a teacher coming back from abroad, it has always been helpful. I might not always get the answer I want, but normally the Teaching Council is able to speed up the process if at all possible. When a qualified teacher goes to the Middle East or Australia, they normally go for two to five years. Many go for up to ten...

Paul Kehoe: Concerning the way schools have divested in recent times and lay people are now chairs and boards of management are being encouraged in this regard, I am not sure what way to frame this question but hopefully the witnesses will understand the gist of where I am coming from when I say there would have been an issue in the past when teachers would have said they were members of the LBGTQ...

When teachers are at their conferences, they feel more open. They are there themselves and able to express themselves. It is just an idea.

Paul Kehoe: From my background in politics for the last 22 years, I have always found it to be far better to deal with the organ grinders on occasions such as these because it is possible to learn an awful lot more. The teachers give much better feedback. I have nothing against the union heads, or anything like that, if they happen to be watching, but I do believe that the teachers, or the members of...

This is regarding a student who may have gone to Australia or the Middle East to teach there. Does Ms Healy understand the question I am asking? For instance, if a "Paul Keogh" went to Australia to teach and he...
