Vol. 461 No. 6

Written Answers. - Guidance Teacher Appointment.

Chris Flood

Question:

119 Mr. Flood asked the Minister for Education whether the extra wholetime equivalent teacher for guidance promised to Jobstown Community College, Tallaght, Dublin 24 has been appointed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3503/96]

The allocation of ex-quota posts to second level schools in respect of guidance is determined by the enrolment in the school. The school referred to by the Deputy was allocated a full-time guidance post from September 1994 on this basis.

The enrolments in the school do not warrant an additional ex-quota allocation in respect of guidance at this time. I am pleased to inform the Deputy that a resource post and a remedial post were sanctioned for the school for the 1995-96 school year.

The question of allocating further teaching resources to the school from within the overall approved teacher allocation for the vocational education committee scheme is a matter for County Dublin Vocational Education Committee.
