relief teachers

Relief teachers are substitute teachers who temporarily replace regular teachers during absences.

The term is standard in British, Australian, and New Zealand English, where American English prefers "substitute teacher" or "sub." The school called in a relief teacher when Mrs. Patterson was ill.
