Question:31 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Education if she envisages the establishment of a permanent panel of teachers in the primary school sector in the immediate future. [18796/95]
Written Answers. - Primary Teachers' Panel.
I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the two-year pilot supply panel scheme, established in 1993, has been confirmed as a permanent scheme since 1 September 1995.
As resources permit, it is planned to continue to extend the supply panel until it becomes a national scheme.
