Psst, English Teachers, if you're looking to get a
job in the UK with salaries as high as £28,841 (JA$5 million) per annum, then
now’s your chance. And apologies for the bad grammar, I'm a Math and Science
Teacher myself!
Anyhoo, this ad came out in the Sunday Gleaner dated
March 6th 2016.
Churchfield and Housefield Primary Schools is
looking for trained Degree wielding Teachers for all subjects, not just
Mathematics and Science as noted in “London
Calling! Another round of UK teacher recruitment now on”, published March
12, 2016, Loop News.
This as there is a crisis in Britain as there is an
acute shortage of teachers, particularly English Teachers due to recruitment by
foreign countries looking to teach their children English as noted in “Warning over England's
'teacher brain drain'”, published 26 February 2016 By Hannah Richardson, BBC News.
There is also a lack of interest from College
Graduates to enter into Teaching due to lower pay and the tax free salaries in
places like Dubai as noted in “Golden
handcuffs for teachers won’t solve the staffing crisis in our schools”,
published Sunday 28 February 2016 by Laura McInerney, The UK Guardian.
All this means that the JA$250,000 per month (after
Tax) salary being recommended by Educate Jamaica might not even dent the coming
mass exodus as predicted in my blog article
entitled “Why
Educate Jamaica says JA$250,000 monthly for Ministry of Education Mathematics
and Science Teachers”.
Churchfield
and Housefield Primary Schools - Housing and 1 months advanced salary in London
In fact, Churchfield and Housefield Primary Schools
are not only willing to pay this much, but have thrown in housing and 1 months
advanced salary for qualified applicants. Here are the addresses for the
schools for those of you familiar with England:
Churchfield Primary School
Latymer Road
London, N9 9PL
Houndsfield Primary School
Ripon road
London N9 7RE
So are Jamaican Teachers interested in working in
London? And what can the Ministry of Education do about this problem?
Massive
English Teacher Exodus from Jamaica coming - Why Increase Salaries for
Mathematics and Science Teachers will not work
Something tells me at £28,841 (JA$5 million) per
annum, Jamaican Teachers have already packed their bags, ready to brave the
cold and culture of London, England in order to make a better life for
themselves.
So JTA (Jamaica Teachers' Association) President,
Norman Allen seems to have been right after all, as the global demand causing
the brain drain isn't just in Mathematics and Sciences; it’s in all Teaching
disciplines as argued in my blog article
entitled “Why
JA$100,000 won't Stop Mathematics and Science Teachers as Braindrain will
accelerate”.
And despite plan by the Ministry of Education to
impose yearly quotas on recruiters, something tells me that this is the tip of
the iceberg.
Other subject teachers will suddenly see a demand as
globally, teacher training is on the decline and teacher shortages in the UK
accelerate as reported in “Let
universities help tackle the teacher training crisis”, published February
18, 2016 By Maureen Glackin, Times
Higher Education.
