View answerThe national pilot project on induction covers primary and post-primary levels. The project operates under the aegis of a steering committee which includes representatives from my Department along with representatives from the teacher unions as well as the universities and colleges of education.
The primary and post-primary project teams have made a joint submission to my Department in relation to the continuation of the national pilot project via an additional phase, namely, phase 3. Consideration of this submission and any decision on the future of the national pilot project will be informed by evaluation reports on phase 2 of the project by the primary and post-primary project teams. It is understood that these reports are currently in progress.
