Internship compensation

Most educational interns do not receive a cent for their internship

Nearly three-quarters (74 percent) of students in primary education or teacher training do not receive an internship allowance, research by ResearchNed shows.

Then make money available, because I am not going to make the current teaching staff pay for this step in times of enormous shortages.”
