Teachers recruited for new academic year

Thu, 12 Sep 2019

A significant number of teachers have been appointed to the Island’s schools, Government has revealed.

A summer recruitment campaign proved successful in attracting a wide variety of applicants from those with experience to those who are newly qualified.

From the findings, 33 teachers have taken up their new posts in primary schools across the Island, with secondary schools welcoming 37 recruits across all subjects.

Of these positions, more than 25 will be working with the Department of Education, Sport and Culture for the first time and 10 have been specifically recruited to teach mathematics and science, subjects that are traditionally more challenging to attract.

As part of this year’s campaign, the Department worked with Locate Isle of Man to produce an article about teaching in the Isle of Man which was published in TES, a UK education business which publishes a weekly magazine.
