Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2017
246. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a person (details supplied) can use their current teaching position in France as an NQT probation for the purposes of qualifying as a primary school teacher; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12855/17]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, the Teaching Council is the independent body with statutory authority under the Teaching Council Acts 2001-2015 for the procedures and criteria for the probation of teachers, including periods of probation which all teachers must successfully complete to achieve full registration. My Department does not get involved in individual cases. Accordingly, the person referred to by the Deputy should contact the Teaching Council directly in this matter.
