The cost of rental housing and the homelessness crisis has “resulted in huge insecurity and extortionate costs for teachers,” he went on. The loss of middle-management grades in schools third-level institutions has left them unable to provide academic pastoral and social support structures, while staff are struggling to make a decent living.
