CATHOLIC schools in Southern Highlands and Hela will not be able to take in dozens of primary school teachers that graduate each year due to limited spaces, but there is a high demand for teachers in high and secondary schools, Catholic education agency secretary said. Daniel Beli said many primary school teachers would not be able to secure teaching positions at present and have to wait for planning of additional positions after a few months and a review next month. Beli said some graduate teachers were from unrecognised teachers colleges and were not accepted when applied for teaching positions at Government and agency schools. “This is a sad scenario for graduates and sponsors,” he said. “Parents and sponsors have to be cautious when sponsoring students to teachers colleges. “Many teachers colleges in the country are not recognised by the Department of Higher Education, Research, Technology.
“They complete their education successfully but are facing hardship securing a teaching position.” Beli added that another problem with new graduate teachers was that they did not come with grade 10 and 12 certificates, teaching certificates and other documents which are Teaching Service Commission’s requirements. He said there was a huge demand for high and secondary school teachers and urged teachers from other provinces to come to Southern Highlands and Hela. He said agency schools were running smoothly and filling of resumption duty forms would be completed by the end of this week. “Despite hiccups at the start of the academic year, the Catholic-run 30 primary schools and a high and secondary school in the two provinces had resumed on a high note,” he said.
