Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 May 2015
177. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will provide, in tabular form, on a per education and training board basis, the number of second level education and training board school principals who do not have either a higher diploma in education, a master's degree or a doctoral degree. [18740/15]
View answerETB school principals are appointed and employed by the 16 education and training boards and, accordingly, the information sought by the Deputy is not readily available in my Department.
My Department's Circular PPT 06/02 sets out the eligibility criteria for appointment to Principal posts in ETB schools. Candidates for appointment are required to have a minimum of five years' whole-time teaching service or its equivalent.
