INTERVIEW. 4 days of school instead of 5: this is how this director wants to tackle the teacher shortage. “You have to dare to think out of the box every now and then”

Two primary schools in Evere will scrap Wednesday as a teaching day next year and compensate for those hours during the other days of the week. The reason? The teacher shortage. “We had four teachers short this school year. With this plan we effectively get one teacher per class,” says director Lisa Janssens of primary school De Weg-Wijzer.
