The teaching unions will gather across the country for their conferences.
Pay, permanent contracts, overcrowded classrooms and the use of AI are some of the topics being debated as the teaching unions gather for their annual conferences this week.
INTO, TUI and ASTI delegates will meet in Killarney, Kilkenny and Wexford respectively, with issues like teacher recruitment and underfunding of education also on the agenda.
A recent TUI survey found over one third of members can't see themselves still in the profession in the next 10 years.
TUI General Secretary, Tullamore's Michael Gillespie says for the Government, it's a case of use them or lose them:
