Practical ideas on substitute teacher supply, split classes, cover planning, availability, and booking workflows in Ireland.

Teacher supply remains a major challenge for Irish schools. Sector research shows why smarter substitute management can reduce daily pressure.

When schools cannot find substitute teachers, the impact often goes beyond one class. Split classes and SET redeployment show why better cover planning matters.

Substitute cover is often treated as admin, but school leadership research shows why time, role clarity and better systems matter.
