Schools Building Projects Administration

Questions (161)

John Lyons

Question:

161. Deputy John Lyons asked the Minister for Education and Skills if funding for school extensions is exclusively being used for that purpose; if consideration has been given in any instances to fund new school buildings using this funding stream; and if such a funding stream could be considered for projects such as an Educate Together second level school in Dublin. [27858/14]

Written answers

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department continues to analyse demographic data to identify where new primary and post-primary schools will be required. It is open to all patron bodies, including Educate Together, to apply for patronage of any such schools in line with the established patronage determination process. Following the process for determining patronage of new schools, which was overseen by the New Schools Establishment Group, two new post-primary schools under the Patronage of Educate Together will open in Dublin, one on the North side of Dublin in Blanchardstown West in 2014 and the other post-primary school will open in Balbriggan in 2016.

The Five Year Construction Plan, that I announced in March 2012, lists the individual school projects that are planned to proceed to construction over the duration of the Plan. The Plan priorities new school building projects as well as major extensions in areas where significant demographic need has been established so that our school system is in a position to cater for increasing pupil numbers.

My Department's over-riding objective is to ensure that every child has access to a physical school place and that our school system is in a position to cope with increasing pupil numbers. This will continue to be the main focus for investment by my Department in the coming years.

School Services Staff

Questions (162, 163)

Pearse Doherty

Question:

162. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to introduce measures to regularise the employment of school secretaries including rates of pay, duties, sick leave and pension entitlements; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27882/14]

Pearse Doherty

Question:

163. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he is satisfied with the current arrangements for the employment of school secretaries; his views that the current practice is conducive to inequity among school secretaries; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27883/14]

View answer

Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 162 and 163 together.

A Clerk Typist Scheme for the employment of secretaries in primary and secondary schools was initiated in 1978 as part of the then Government's job-creation programme. While a small number of such secretaries remain in schools, the scheme has been superseded by a more extensive grant arrangement. The majority of primary and voluntary secondary schools in the Free Education Scheme now receive capitation grant assistance to provide for secretarial (and/or caretaking) services. The flexible nature of the capitation grant schemes allows individual school authorities to apply diverse arrangements for secretarial services to meet their needs.

Notwithstanding the above, a forum was established involving my Department, the Department of Finance (now Public Expenditure and Reform), IMPACT and SIPTU with a view to establishing the factual position in schools regarding terms and conditions (including pay) of school secretaries and caretakers and commencing discussions on the proposal of the unions that an interim minimum pay rate should be introduced. It should be noted that the forum was established with specific terms of reference and was not intended to be a general industrial relations forum dealing with all employment related issues for school secretaries and caretakers.

The first aspect of the forum's tasks was completed. It was not possible to begin discussions on the second element (introduction of a minimum pay rate) due to the State's serious budgetary and financial position, as the introduction of such a rate would inevitably involve an increased cost to the Exchequer. However, it was agreed that the forum would consider appropriate measures in relation to the rates of pay of school secretaries and caretakers in the event that a review of the Public Service Agreements recommended changes to the benefit of those public servants earning €35,000 or less per annum.

Adult Education

Questions (164)

Clare Daly

Question:

164. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will clarify the status of the target literacy programme in Donaghmede and its future as a vital provider of adult literacy in the area. [27891/14]

View answer

Written answers

This is an operational matter for the City of Dublin Education and Training Board (CDETB). I understand from CDETB that it is re-organising its literacy service in this area but that there will be no reduction in the level of provision available to learners. The extent of the literacy service to be provided and the organisation of classes in any centre is a matter for the ETB.

School Transport Administration

Questions (165)

Robert Troy

Question:

165. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will allow medical card holders who are applying for transport to schools which are not necessarily the nearest to them to be able to avail of free transport if a seat is available; if he will consider ensuring transport options are available to facilitate all children to be able to attend the school of their choice; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27894/14]

View answer

Written answers

The purpose of my Department's School Transport Schemes is, having regard to available resources, to support the transport to and from school of children who reside remote from their nearest school. While it is the prerogative of parents to send their children to the school of their choice, eligibility for school transport is to the nearest school or education centre. Children who are not eligible for school transport may apply for transport on a concessionary basis only subject to a number of terms and conditions including the payment of the annual charge. This charge, which may be paid in two instalments in July and December, is a contribution towards the overall cost and does not reflect the true cost of providing these services. Only children who are eligible for school transport and who hold valid medical cards (GMS Scheme) are exempt from paying the annual charge. The terms of the School Transport Schemes are applied equitably on a national basis and I am satisfied with the current criteria for determining eligibility.

School Staffing

Questions (166)

Michael McCarthy

Question:

166. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason a school (details supplied) in County Louth was not allocated an EAL teaching post on appeal for the next academic year even though the school will have exceeded the threshold necessary for allocation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27924/14]

View answer

Written answers

The staffing appeal process at primary level includes the provision whereby schools with a high concentration of pupils requiring English as an additional language (EAL) can apply for further additional temporary language support posts. The appeal criteria are set out in Circular 0007/2014. The school referred to by the Deputy submitted an appeal under the EAL criterion to the Primary Staffing Appeals Board. The Board considered applications at its June meeting. The appeal was refused on the basis that the grounds of the appeal did not warrant the allocation of an EAL post under Circular 0007/2014. The Primary Staffing Appeals Board operates independently of the Department and its decision is final.

School Management

Questions (168)

Niall Collins

Question:

168. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will confirm that he has received correspondence regarding a matter (details supplied); the advice he can offer in this situation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27945/14]

View answer

Written answers

My officials have replied to a representation made by a concerned parent to my office recently regarding the matter at the school in question. While this Department sets out the constitution of Boards of Management and rules of procedure it is not directly involved in the management of schools. Under the provisions of the Education Act, 1998, the Board of Management is the body charged with the direct governance of a school, and it is the Board of Management which employs the teachers at the school. Accordingly, whereas the Department provides funding and policy direction for schools, the Department does not have the power to instruct schools to follow a particular course of direction with regard to individual complaint cases. If a parent wishes to make a complaint against a teacher or school they should contact the relevant school authorities. The complaint procedures adopted by most schools are those that have been agreed between the teacher unions and school management bodies.

The Office of the Ombudsman for Children may independently investigate complaints relating to the administrative actions of a school recognised by the Department of Education and Skills, provided the parent has firstly and fully followed the school's complaints procedures. The key criterion for any intervention by the Ombudsman for Children is that the administrative actions of a school have, or may have, adversely affected the child. The office can be contacted at: Ombudsman for Children's Office, Millennium House, 52-56 Great Strand Street, Dublin 1; tel. 1800 20 20 40 or (01) 865 6800 or email oco@oco.ie.

The Department website www.education.ie is a useful source of information. The section dealing with parental complaints, bullying and child protection is www.education.ie/en/Parents/Information/Complaints-Bullying-Child-Protection-Discrimination. In accordance with the Department's child protection procedures, I can confirm that the correspondence received was referred without judgment to the relevant authorities.

The Deputy will be aware that I published new anti-bullying procedures for all primary and post primary schools. These new procedures have been developed following consultation with the relevant education partners and replace guidelines that were issued to schools in 1993. The procedures are designed to give direction and guidance to school authorities and school personnel in preventing and tackling school-based bullying behaviour amongst its pupils. They include specific requirements in relation to the use of prevention and education strategies and the consistent investigation, follow up and recording of bullying behaviour.

Minor Works Scheme Restoration

Questions (169)

Pat Deering

Question:

169. Deputy Pat Deering asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to restore the minor works grant in the forthcoming budget in view of the costs of routine repairs schools must carry out and the pressure the abolition of the minor works grant has placed on school finances. [27960/14]

View answer

Written answers

As I outlined previously the focus in the education sector is on meeting the demand for additional school places. Consequently, there is no funding provided at this time in the 2014 capital allocation for the payment of a Minor Works Grant to primary schools. I would point out that the Minor Works Grant was issued last November to all primary schools with full recognition in respect of the 2013/2014 school year. Furthermore, since 1997 the Minor Works Grant has been issued in each school year with the exception of the 2012/2013 school year.

School Enrolments

Questions (170)

Clare Daly

Question:

170. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding sanction for an extra class in respect of a school (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27967/14]

View answer

Written answers

As the Deputy will be aware, my Department has examined the level of demand for junior infant places in the Swords area and in that regard has also been in contact with the schools concerned. The Deputy will appreciate that in view of constraints on my Department's capital budget imposed by the need to meet demographic demand, it is important that school size is monitored and that a balance is preserved among all schools in catchment areas to ensure that one school is not expanding at the expense or the viability of another school. This may sometimes however result in children not being offered a place in their school of first choice.

In the case of the school in question, whilst this school may be the school of first choice, the Deputy will be aware that there are two other schools with the same Patron as the school referred to, which have lost or are due to lose mainstream teaching posts. These schools have spare accommodation capacity within their buildings and expressed a willingness to accept an additional stream of Junior Infants each. It is my understanding that there has not been sufficient interest in Junior Infant places in the schools with spare capacity to warrant establishing an additional class of junior infants in 2014.

However, it is still the case that a balance must be preserved among all schools in catchment areas to ensure that one school is not expanding at the expense or the viability of another school and in that context my Department is not in a position to sanction an additional stream of junior infants for the school in question.

Student Grant Scheme Administration

Questions (171)

Jonathan O'Brien

Question:

171. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason persons refused a Student Universal Support Ireland grant in the first instance due to an error made on the part of SUSI are compelled to enter the appeals process; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that there are persons entering PPC1 courses who will miss the deadline to have their fees paid as a result of this unfair procedure; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28021/14]

View answer

Written answers

Officials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) that the student referred to by the Deputy made an application for the 2014/15 academic year and subsequently appealed the initial decision. If an individual applicant considers that she/he has been unjustly refused a student grant, or that the rate of grant awarded is not the correct one, she/he may appeal, in the first instance, to SUSI.

Following a review of the application under the appeals process it was determined the application in question could proceed and a letter with a checklist of documents required issued to the applicant. The application will be further reviewed on receipt of the requested documentation and a decision will issue to the applicant. Where an individual applicant has had an appeal turned down in writing by SUSI and remains of the view that the scheme has not been interpreted correctly in his/her case, an appeal form outlining the position may be submitted by the applicant to the independent Student Grants Appeals Board. The relevant appeal form is available to download from http://www.studentfinance.ie/downloads/1375344221/2013_SGAB_appeal_form.pdf.

School Guidance Counsellors

Questions (172)

Charlie McConalogue

Question:

172. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Education and Skills notwithstanding the fact that he stated in his reply on 17 June last that teachers, as highly trained individuals and responsible adults operating in a school environment, have the professional capacity or knowledge to deal with a significant number of the issues that arise in their classrooms on a daily basis, his views that counselling as described in his Department guidelines (details supplied) should only be carried out by a qualified guidance counsellor who is currently being professionally supervised by the teacher education section of his Department in this counselling work; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28040/14]

View answer

Written answers

The guidelines referred to by the Deputy were published in 2005 at a time when a separate additional allocation was given to schools for guidance provision. My Department published Circular 0009/2012 – Staffing Arrangements in post-primary schools for the 2012/13 school year in February, 2012 to inform all post primary school management of the staffing arrangements for the 2012/13 school year and in particular, of the requirement to manage guidance from within the standard allocation with effect from the 2012/13 school year. Schools have autonomy in relation to how they use their standard staffing allocation for the provision of subjects to their students. The circular provided further autonomy to school Principals and boards to manage the provision of guidance from within their standard staffing allocation.

The circular, whilst acknowledging that the previously published documentation on the provision of guidance (the 2005 Guidelines and the Inspectorate publication in 2009 "Looking at Guidance") were published at a time when a separate additional allocation was given for guidance also made clear that schools should continue to find this documentation as a useful reference guide and resource in the preparation of the school guidance plans.

School Curriculum

Questions (173)

Thomas Pringle

Question:

173. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has been drawn to the concerns of the Association of Civic, Social and Political Education Teachers in Ireland regarding the removal of CSPE as a mandatory subject under the junior cycle student award; his views that the new optional short course will offer the same benefits to students in relation to active citizenship and civic knowledge and engagement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28055/14]

View answer

Written answers

Education about active citizenship is an integral component of the new Framework for Junior Cycle. For example, one of the 24 'Statements of Learning', that encompass the key knowledge and skills that students will develop during their junior cycle, requires that all students will "value what it means to be an active citizen with rights and responsibilities in local and wider context". In addition, the 8 key skills which underpin the new Framework for Junior Cycle, include "working with others" whereby students should realise and experience how they can "contribute to making the world a better place". As junior cycle students will experience the statements of learning and key skills, it is expected that education for active citizenship will continue to be an important part of the new Junior Cycle.

I recently approved a new short course in CSPE that has been developed by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA). This short course will be available to schools to implement, from this September, should they wish to do so as part of their Junior Cycle programme or they may continue to offer the current syllabus. Schools will choose from one or the other for the up-coming academic year 2014/2015. The new short course aims to inform, inspire, empower and enable young people to participate as active citizens in contemporary society at local, national and global levels based on an understanding of human rights and social responsibilities. It is also important to note that the new CSPE short course is designed for 100 hours of teaching compared to less than 70 hours for the existing CSPE syllabus.

School Patronage

Questions (174)

Jonathan O'Brien

Question:

174. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he has commissioned a White Paper on divestment of patronage in schools; the persons tasked to draft this paper; the date on which it will be published; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28060/14]

View answer

Written answers

The Report of the Forum on Patronage and Pluralism in the Primary Sector made a series of recommendations in relation to this area. Among the recommendations, were those relating to areas of stable population. The Report recommended that in such areas, where there is evidence of demand for different types of patronage, this demand could be met by divesting patronage of existing schools.

As part of the implemenation of these recommendations, surveys of parental preferences in 43 such areas were undertaken and sufficient parental demand for a wider choice of school patron emerged in 28 of the areas. The demand demonstrated was for English medium multidenominational education in 27 of these areas, while one area demonstrated demand for an Irish-language national school (35 of the 43 areas surveyed already have a Gaelscoil option available).

Following discussions with the existing Catholic patrons on the potential for permanent accommodation options and discussions with Educate Together on their priorities for initial start-up areas, three new multi-denominational schools will open in September 2014. In addition, the transfer of patronage of a Church of Ireland school to Educate Together patronage from September 2014 in one survey area is also being advanced. A fifth multi-denominational school that opened in temporary accommodation in September 2014 is moving to an Edmund Rice Schools Trust building for September 2014. The engagement with patrons so far has been positive and it is expected that further progress can be achieved for new schools in 2015 and onwards. It is my intention to publish shortly a paper outlining progress in relation to this and other recommendations made by the Forum.

Special Educational Needs Service Provision

Questions (175)

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department provides funding to schools towards the cost of assistive technology for pupils in Primary, Post Primary and Special schools for personal computers and specialist software for educational purposes under the Assistive Technology scheme, as set out in my Department's Circular 0010/2013. I can advise the Deputy that an application for assistive technology support for the child referred to by the Deputy has been received in my Department. Further information has been requested from the school regarding the completion of the application form. The application will be considered further once this information is received.

Schools Building Projects Status

Questions (176)

Seán Kyne

Question:

176. Deputy Seán Kyne asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding the provision of a new school (details supplied) in County Galway following a planned meeting between the board of management and his Department in May 2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28193/14]

View answer

Written answers

The Major School Building Project referred to by the Deputy is currently at Stage 2(a) of Architectural Planning. Following a Stage 2a Stakeholders Meeting in May 2014, it was necessary for the Design Team to submit further details and documentation to the School Authorities and the Department. This submission is currently under review in my Department. Once the review has been completed, subject to no further issues arising, the project will proceed to Stage 2(b) - Detailed Design which includes planning and other statutory permission and the preparation of tender documents.

Due to competing demands on the Department's capital budget imposed by the need to prioritise the limited funding available for the provision of additional school accommodation to meet increasing demographic requirements it was not possible to include this project in the 5 year construction programme announced in March 2012. School building projects, including the project referred to by the Deputy, which have been initiated but not included in the current five year construction programme will continue to be progressed to final planning stages in anticipation of the possibility of further funds being available to the Department in the future.

Special Educational Needs Service Provision

Questions (177)

Patrick O'Donovan

Question:

177. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the criteria that will be used for the proposed new resource teacher model; if a school (details supplied) will be taken into consideration when developing this new model of resource; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28207/14]

View answer

Written answers

I wish to advise the Deputy that The National Council for Special Education (NCSE) published its Report on a Proposed New Model for Allocating Teachers for Students with Special Educational Needs on Wednesday 18th June 2014. This report is available at www.ncse.ie. The report has recommended that a new allocation model should be developed for schools based on two components: a school educational profile component; and a baseline component provided to every mainstream school to support inclusion, prevention of learning difficulties and early intervention. It recommended that the educational profile of a school should take into account: the number of students with complex special educational needs attending the school; the Percentages of students performing below a certain threshold on standardised test results; the Social context of school which includes gender, primary school location and educational disadvantage.

I have asked my Department to consider the recommendations contained in this report and to examine what impact this proposal would have in practice on the allocation of Special Needs teachers to schools, including the school referred to by the Deputy in his question. I am hopeful that this work, which involves collecting significant information from schools, can be completed by the Autumn, following which, further consideration will be given to the report recommendations. In considering proposals for any new resource allocation model my Department will consult with all stakeholder groups, including parents, to hear their views on the proposals.

School Staffing

Questions (178)

Denis Naughten

Question:

178. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 82 of 13 February 2013, the number of relief teaching days allocated to teachers on a departmental pension in the 2012-13 and the past school year at primary and post-primary respectively; the steps being taken to reduce this number; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28219/14]

View answer

Written answers

The detailed information sought by the Deputy is not readily available. The most recent information available relates to March 2014 when a total of 282 retired teachers were employed by the managerial authorities of schools. One hundred and forty nine retired primary teachers and one hundred and thirty three retired voluntary secondary and community and comprehensive teachers were employed. However, seventy per cent of those teachers worked 5 days or less. By comparision in March 2013 a total of 362 retired teachers were employed by the managerial authorities. Two hundred and eight retired primary teachers and one hundred and fifty four retired voluntary secondary and community and comprehensive teachers were employed. In that period eighty five per cent worked 5 days or less.

The policy of my Department is to ensure, as far as possible, that the managerial authorities of schools give priority to unemployed registered teachers who are fully qualified when filling vacant teaching posts. My Department has issued a number of circulars addressing this issue in recent years. Under the terms of these circulars school principals must maintain a list of unemployed registered teachers who are available for substitute work at short notice and report to the Board of Management on any exceptional occasion where they have to engage a registered teacher who is retired. Circular 31/2011 details a cascade of measures for recruitment of teachers, prioritising registered teachers over retired registered teachers and unregistered people.

A retired teacher who returns to teaching on or after 1 February 2012 will commence at the first point of the incremental salary scale. Incremental credit for service prior to 1 February 2012, qualification allowances and certain job role allowances are also not payable. These measures represents a significant financial disincentive for teachers who retired at the top of their salary scale, often with a post of responsibility allowance, to return to teaching.

Special Educational Needs Staffing

Questions (179)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin

Question:

179. Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a school (details supplied) in Dublin 5 will be retaining its special needs assistant for the incoming school year. [28251/14]

View answer

Written answers

The National Council for Special Education (NCSE) is responsible, through its network of local Special Educational Needs Organisers (SENOs) for allocating a quantum of Special Needs Assistant (SNA) support for each school annually taking into account the assessed care needs of children qualifying for SNA support. Where children have significant care needs whereby they may need additional support to be able to attend school, the NCSE may make an allocation of SNA support to the school to assist that child.

The NCSE operates within my Department's criteria in allocating such support. The criteria by which SNA support is allocated to pupils are set out in my Department's Circular 0030/2014. The deployment of SNAs within schools is then a matter for the individual Principal/Board of Management. SNAs should be deployed by the school in a manner which best meets the care support requirements of the children enrolled in the school for whom SNA support has been allocated. It is a matter for schools to allocate support as required, and on the basis of individual need, which allows schools flexibility in how the SNA support is utilised.

The NCSE has announced that in September there will be over 10,900 Special Needs Assistant (SNA) posts in schools to support students with special needs for the 2014/2015 school year. The exact numbers of SNAs will become clear when enrolments of students in mainstream schools are finalised in September. A school by school breakdown of SNA allocations for 2014/15 school year is available at www.ncse.ie. All schools have the names and contact details of their local SENO. Parents may also contact their local SENO directly to discuss their child's special educational needs, using the contact details available on www.ncse.ie.
