Lack of funds to conduct trainings, cover teachers' allowances and to facilitate support supervision were deemed responsible for this state of affairs.
The inputs for training were: teacher salaries and allowances, student transport and living allowances, books, equipment and equipment maintenance.
And teachers make few allowances for those slacking in class, not understanding that three hours' sleep would make any class difficult.
Assumptions for teaching staff salaries and housing allowances for teachers were obtained from the Public Service Management Division.
Pre-service teachers got an allowance of €40 for their participation.
This mixed compensation system includes professional development allowances for financing teacher's in-service training and continuing education studies, wedding allowance, birth allowance, transport allowance, housing allowance, and allowances for their children's education.
Cost inputs considered were: teacher remuneration, transport, trainee living allowances and teaching equipment.
Furthermore, the Government plans to pay such allowances to 11,300 teachers in 2007 and to expand this to 23,000 teachers in cities.
This is partly because of baby boomer retirements and partly because districts in Texas and elsewhere were offering recruitment bonuses and housing allowances, luring Kansas teachers away.
Brittany Chevalier, 16, who lost her 26-year-old brother, Swede, worries that school administrators and teachers will no longer make allowances for the days she is too distraught to come to school or too upset to complete an assignment.
