Any teacher who was employed in a teaching post in the public sector on or before 4 December 2011 and who was, on that date, undertaking a course of study leading to a degree level award is eligible to apply for qualification allowances in respect of that course of study. The person to whom the Deputy refers is not currently in receipt of the Honours Degree allowance as she was undertaking a course of study leading to a Level 8 honours degree on 5 December 2011. An allowance in respect of this qualification will be payable in accordance with the pre-December 2011 scheme of allowances once it has been achieved.
