Despite teacher shortage: 1,453 teachers are not in the classroom

Sport Vlaanderen, Broederlijk Delen and Bisdom Hasselt: they all employ ‘seconded’ teachers. Unexpected names pop up on the list of 181 organizations – even Let’s Go Urban vzw conveniently called on education until 2020. Most of them belong to the school umbrella organizations and trade unions. Is that wise, now that Flanders is struggling with a major teacher shortage? “We are in an emergency. All hands are needed.”
