There is the ludicrous case of teachers teaching in cloakrooms. When canvassing during the general election campaign, I made it my business to call to every school in every parish. The stories I was told were horrific. The Department needs to learn lessons. It gets plenty of advance warning. It needs to study the census figures carefully, identify the trends, find out how many children will be going to school in a certain year and ensure there are enough teachers. It should not create additional posts if there are not enough teachers to fill them or if they are being created at the expense of mainstream teaching, as is happening.
