Poll: Do teachers make enough money?

But they also work longer hours and with bigger classes than their international counterparts, according to new research.
The OECD Education At A Glance report found that Ireland has one of the highest rates of teaching time, with primary school teachers working 915 hours a year, significantly higher than the EU average of 756 hours.
