Stephen McGrath, a history teacher from Co Dublin, emphasizes the need for the Department of Education to recognize teaching experience gained abroad, particularly in private schools outside the EU. His current salary is significantly lower due to this lack of recognition, receiving â¬10,000 less annually than he should. Urging Education Minister Helen McEntee to take action, McGrath highlights the disheartening impact this situation has on teachers contemplating a return to Ireland, noting it hinders the recruitment and retention of talent within the education system.
"As a teacher who has dedicated years to my profession, it's disheartening to see my experience in Abu Dhabi go unrecognized, reducing my potential earnings significantly."
"The Department of Education's current policy overlooks the contributions of teachers who have worked abroad, and this gap in recognition needs urgent addressing to retain talent in Ireland."
