Adrienne Burnett says pandemic not the only thing to blame
The headteacher of a local high school has described recruitment in education as a 'crisis'.
Adrienne Burnett from Ballakermeen has lost six members of staff since September.
Due to a lack of on and off-Island replacements, the school is having to constantly change timetables and get teachers to take on extra lessons.
It's a problem Mrs Burnett says has been around for a very long time, and Ballakermeen isn't the only school suffering:
