The Teachers Inspire awardees have come from primary and secondary school level.
One question we have frequently pondered is why there are so many more women than men picking teaching as a career, particularly in primary school.
To discuss this, Louise is joined by Dr Alan Gorman who is Assistant Professor in the School of Policy and Practice lecturer in DCU Institute of Education.
He trained, and worked, as a primary school teacher before moving to third level and in 2022 he was awarded the DCU President's Award for Excellence in Teaching.
They discuss the possible reasons behind the gender divide and also hear from Alex Finnegan, who says he wanted to teach since his own days in primary school. He is recently qualified and teaches 5th class.
