About this listen

From the lingering impact of home schooling during Covid to the high number of agency staff, this week's guest - former teacher Jenny Tasker - outlines how issues in Guernsey's education system affect students' grades.

Speaking to Luke and Matthew, she wants the next set of politicians to overhaul the current recruitment process and ensure that returning local teachers are given the same benefits as those relocating from the UK.

On agency staff, Jenny believes most cannot provide the level of education young people need and says there are opportunities on island for local people to train up as effective teachers if they are incentivised to stay.
