The education minister's plea comes after some schools had to cancel classes due to staff illness.
Retired teachers on the Isle of Man have been called upon by the education minister to join the supply register to help schools manage staff absences.
The Department of Education, Sport and Culture would process any applications for new supply teachers as "quickly as possible", said Ms Edge. Ms Edge said she wanted her department to look into finding "better contingencies" to help the island's five secondary and 22 primary schools when several teachers are off at the same time.
