Can a teacher work part time in other employment?
The Codes of Aid stipulate that a teacher employed full time in an
aided school shall not engage in teaching outside the school except
with the prior approval of the Supervisor. If the work is other than
teaching, the Supervisor must also be satisfied that the work outside
contributes to the public good and are not as such as to interfere with
the efficient performance of the teacher’s normal duties.
Can a principal stipulate what a teacher has to wear to school?
In theory a principal can set down a dress code provided that nothing
in it is discriminatory, and it is reasonable. The dress code should be
proportional to the teacher’s salary.
