Top man Catholic education sounds the alarm about teacher shortage: “Pay masters in primary education according to their diploma”

But then you have to pay the teachers in primary education who have a master’s degree correctly, says Boeve. And that is not the case now. As a result, we will soon lose those masters again, or so it sounds.

“At the moment we are experiencing too much that bachelors, who, for example, obtain a master’s degree in educational science while they are teaching, leave education in no time. They then go to work at educational publishers, for example, where they can be paid at master’s level.”

And that is a pity, both in light of the teacher shortage and in view of the quality of education, he concludes.
