Internship compensation

Most educational interns do not receive a cent for their internship

Nearly three-quarters (74 percent) of students in primary education or teacher training do not receive an internship allowance, research by ResearchNed shows. The AOb wants there to be a mandatory internship allowance.

Then make money available, because I am not going to make the current teaching staff pay for this step in times of enormous shortages.”

The duties of the teacher, but not always the salary

Teaching assistants and teacher support staff regularly stand independently in front of the group to replace a teacher. This extra responsibility is not always rewarded. While that should be the case according to the collective labor agreement.
