A teacher has been accused of professional misconduct over falsely representing his qualifications, teaching experience and registration status in numerous job applications to the Cork Education and Training Board three years ago.
A fitness-to-teach inquiry of the Teaching Council heard that Cork ETB made a formal complaint to the regulatory body about teacher, James Clancy, after it noted an “extraordinary” number of discrepancies in 25 job applications he had submitted between February and May 2023.
