Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 July 2016
257. Deputy Noel Grealish asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will review the issue of incremental credits awarded for teaching service given outside the EU, which under the terms of the Agreed Report 10/2000 is awarded up to a maximum of seven years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20747/16]
View answerThe criteria for the award of incremental credit to recognised primary and post-primary teachers under Circulars 10/2001, 29/2007 and 29/2010 was agreed under the auspices of the Teachers Conciliation Council. This Council comprises representatives of teachers, school management, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, the Department of Education & Skills and is chaired by an official of the Workplace Relations Commission. Therefore the issue of teaching service given outside the EU would need to be considered at the Teachers Conciliation Council, in the first instance.
