Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

The scheme for the award of incremental credit to teachers was agreed at the Conciliation Council for Teachers which is comprised of representatives of the teacher unions, school management, the Department of Finance and the Department of Education and Science. The scheme, as agreed, makes no provision for the award of incremental credit in respect of teaching service in educational establishments other than those recognised by competent State authorities.
