Even the best of recent years was below 60% and that figure has now dropped to 38%, even lower in primaries

Census data showed 42% of year-one post-probationers in full-time temporary posts in 2019-20 (highest since 2006-07) and full-time permanent share down from 48% to 38%. The EIS said new funding alone may not secure permanent posts.

People named: Larry Flanagan, Shirley-Anne Somerville
