Belfast teachers create software to reduce teacher workloads and make classes more efficient

Two teachers from Belfast have teamed up to create software that aims to reduce the workload of teachers and improve educational outcomes for pupils.

Stephen Houston and Chris Dillon have used their combined teaching experience to create the software, titled TransferTest, to help prepare pupils in P6 and P7 for their transfer tests, whether that be AQE, GL or both.

As pupils complete practice tests online, teachers can see the results in real time and highlight where they're having difficulties. This means teachers are able to plan future lessons to combat these difficulties more effectively.
