New employment permits ‘could make it harder to keep teachers’

Saturday 22nd January 2011, 2:29PM GMT.

Deputy Carol Steere GUERNSEY’S Education minister has voiced fears that a proposed employment permit system could hamper the department’s efforts to retain teachers within the island.

Education minister Carol Steere (pictured) said she had not had time to investigate the proposals from the Population Policy Group fully.

But her initial reaction was that the move could cause recruitment problems for her department.

‘At the moment we have people on five-year contracts but we can’t hold them to that,’ she said.

I think it is importnat that all people living in Guernsey take the opportunity to participate in the consultation. This is a real chance to have your say and shape the future population management mechnaism of Guernsey. There are many suggestions, but they are only suggestions to guide the thought process in the document so take the opportunity to read the document and have your say ….

I dunno. maybe many things come about, like a guiding hand.
SO if it’s a job to get teachers, then in my opinion it’s an omen of great worth.

Because now our children can learn about our Island not about the glorious empire that was.
Our language can be once again brought to the fore.
The ways and wherefores of our Island can come to light.
That dreadful belief that the people voted to be part of the English way.
If ever there was a lie that was it.
Only Landowners and society people had the vote, ordinary people had no say at all. they were looked upon as the peasants.
If there had to be a vote then at least when one reads English History let us have some truth. tell your people. the Saxons; whatever suits you, but as a Guernsey man I detest your rubbish of History.

Some time ago a question arose about the Romans in England. you even had your ‘Queen of England named Boadicea, being that queen, she wasn’t she was Queen of the Iceni, a tribe living in what is now Norfolk. If English history is to be taught, then be honest tell all, not the bits that prostitutes yourselves as glorious and such, tell the truth. fairy tales are for little children. not for school children wishing to know about the world they live in.
