An emergency teacher supply taskforce is needed, according to the INTO.
The Irish National Teachers Organisation says today's Consultative Forum on Teacher supply has failed to outline any meaningful mitigation to the staffing crisis.
INTO General Secretary John Boyle says the cost-of-living crisis, an inability to access housing and significant rent increases have exacerbated the problems associated with teacher recruitment.
The Teachers Union of Ireland says after today's discussions, it has little faith in the Department of Education's commitment to tackling the teacher recruitment crisis.
