The Cost of Burnout
Teacher Talk with the INTO | Season 4, Episode 2
As our host and panel explain, teachers and pupils alike need a burnout-busting budget from the Government. Working more and more and feeling like you’ve achieved less and less on a to-do list seems to be a theme of modern life.
With burnout rife among teachers, what does this means for wellbeing and the future of a timeless profession? And how could funding 1,000 more primary teachers help reduce stress and battle burnout’s damage?
Join host Ciaran Gallagher, INTO Director of Communications, Central Executive Committee (CEC) District 9 rep Órlaith Ní Fhoghlú and Máirín Ní Chéileachair, INTO Director of Education, as they explore the impact of overcrowded classrooms, growing workload pressures, and the urgent need for Government investment in primary education.
