Allowances are paid to teachers and principals employed in schools identified by the Ministry of Education as requiring additional support for recruitment or retention.
The eligible schools list may be changed by the Ministry as needs change. This won’t happen more than once a year, and only after consultation with employee representatives. The list has already been updated for the 2022 year.
Secondary principals
