The person referred to by the Deputy is on the unqualified teacher rate of remuneration until such time as provisional recognition as a primary teacher is granted by my Department. If provisional recognition is granted, this person will be placed on the qualified rate of remuneration and the appropriate arrears will be paid.
The processing of this person's application for provisional recognition cannot, however, be finalised until my Department receives certified evidence of qualified teacher status, QTS, to teach the range of primary school subjects to children aged four to 12 issued by the competent authority in the State in which the qualifications were obtained. The person in question has been made aware of the documentation required to complete the processing of the application and informed that such documentation should be forwarded to primary administration section of the Department of Education and Science at Cornamaddy, Athlone, County Westmeath.
