Written Answers Nos. 198-220
198. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to ensure that there is equality in pay and that teachers who qualified after 2010 will not be discriminated against in terms of pay; his views on whether equal work for equal pay is appropriate; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24247/17]
View answerEquality and fairness are of course at the heart of everything this Government is trying to do, particularly in the education area where I am particularly focused on creating better opportunities for people from disadvantaged areas in our schools system and in higher education.
The public service agreements have allowed a programme of pay restoration for public servants to start. I have used this to negotiate substantial improvements in pay for new teachers. The agreement reached with TUI and INTO will see pay rises of between 15-22% (between €4600 and €6700) for new entrant teachers. The agreements also provide for earlier permanency for younger teachers, new promotion opportunities and new flexibilities in working hours.
The agreements have restored an estimated 75% of the difference in pay for more recently recruited teachers and deliver full equality at later points in the scale. This is substantial progress and strikes an equitable balance with other claims for funding on my Department, particularly needs such as enhanced service for children with special educational needs, for disadvantaged schools, for growing schools, for Higher Education and for apprenticeships.
It must be borne in mind that the pay reduction for post-2011 entrants to the public service applied to all public servants and not just teachers, and that any restoration of these measures in respect of teachers would be expected to be applied elsewhere across the public service. While I am not in a position to provide an estimate of the total cost of restoring all post-1 January 2011 entrants in all areas of the public service to the pre-2011 pay scale arrangements, I can say that in the case of education and training sector employees, including teachers, the estimated current full year cost would be in the order of €85 million. Clearly, the cost across the entire public service would be substantially higher.
However there are other types of equality that we must also bear in mind, for example equality between public servants and people who work elsewhere or don’t work at all. It would also not be equal or fair for us to do unaffordable deals with particular groups of public servants that mean that we do not have the money left in the public purse to provide increases in social welfare payments for vulnerable groups, tax reductions for people at work, or investments in improvements in public services that people rely on.
In education, there is a well-established increment system. Teachers are not paid equally. For example, the pay scale for teachers appointed prior to 2011 ranges from €32,009 to €60,155 depending on the date that the individual began teaching. Part of the negotiation to date has secured a convergence of the scales of recruits at different periods. Any further negotiation on new entrant pay cannot focus on just one sector. A broader assessment of pay and new entrant pay will be informed by the recently published analysis of the Public Service Pay Commission.
The Government established the Commission to examine pay levels across the public service, including entry levels of pay. The Government also supports the gradual, negotiated repeal of the FEMPI legislation, having due regard to the priority to improve public services and in recognition of the essential role played by public servants.
I accept that the teacher unions have outstanding pay demands and that the new entrant deal does not travel the full distance that they set out to achieve. However, it does represent significant progress, and the door is not closed to the trade union movement seeking to advance the issue further in the context of public service pay talks. My colleague, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, invited the Public Services Committee of ICTU to discussions on public service pay and a continued approach to the unwinding of the FEMPI legislation and these discussions are now underway.
199. Deputy Fiona O'Loughlin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if NEPS, National Educational Psychological Service, has a policy with regard to assessing younger siblings if a child has been diagnosed with a learning difficulty; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24008/17]
View answerI can inform the Deputy that my Department's National Educational Psychological Service (NEPS) provides educational psychology service to all primary and post primary schools through an assigned NEPS psychologist and in some cases receive assessment services through the Scheme for Commissioning Psychological Assessments (SCPA). Under this scheme schools can have a student assessment carried out by a member of the panel of private psychologists approved by NEPS, and NEPS will pay the psychologist the fees for this assessment directly.
In common with many other psychological services and best international practice, NEPS has adopted a consultative model of service. The focus is on empowering teachers to intervene effectively with pupils whose needs range from mild to severe and transient to enduring. Psychologists use a problem solving and solution focused consultative approach to maximise positive outcomes for these pupils. NEPS encourages schools to use a continuum based assessment and intervention process whereby each school takes responsibility for initial assessment, educational planning and remedial intervention for pupils with learning, emotional or behavioural difficulties. Teachers may consult their NEPS psychologist should they need to at this stage in the process. Only in the event of a failure to make reasonable progress, in spite of the school's best efforts in consultation with NEPS, will the psychologist become involved with an individual child for intensive intervention or assessment. This system allows psychologists to give early attention to urgent cases and also to help many more children indirectly than could be seen individually. It also ensures that children are not referred unnecessarily for psychological intervention.
NEPS does not have a policy of automatically assessing siblings of children diagnosed with a learning difficulty. The process applied and described above provides for a critical appraisal of a pupil’s educational, social and emotional development and where concerns are raised by parents or school staff (including that of a sibling’s diagnosis), for an appropriate response and intervention by school and NEPS staff.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
200. Deputy Fiona O'Loughlin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will review the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24009/17]

Where parents have specific concerns in relation to the educational development of their child it is advised that they raise them, in the first instance, with the principal of the school concerned with a view to that principal discussing the appropriateness or otherwise of an educational assessment with the assigned NEPS psychologist or local service.
I must inform you that NEPS does not refund money spent on private psychological assessments commissioned by families. However, the family in question may claim a tax rebate on the costs involved from the Revenue Commissioners in the following tax year.
201. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Education and Skills if the technical survey of the future site of a school (details supplied) has been carried out; if he will publish this assessment; the estimated cost to refurbish the buildings; when it will be refurbished; the area of the new refurbished building; the number of classes which will be available; if he will meet with the principal and representatives of the parents' council; if so, when; if new prefab accommodation will be necessary at the school's current location in 2018; and the estimated per annum cost of same. [24023/17]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that it is my Department's intention to relocate the school in question to the property referred to in the details supplied to meet the school's permanent accommodation needs.
The property transferred to the Minister’s ownership last year. My Department has inspected the property which is a listed structure. The position is that the building requires extensive refurbishment to make its facilities fit for modern school purposes. In that regard, a significant financial investment will be required and this has to be considered within the overall available capital envelope. It is not possible to disclose the estimated cost as to do so could prejudice the tender process.
I am not, therefore, in a position at this stage to indicate when the refurbishment works will be undertaken. My Department will be in further contact with the Patron when any further update is available.
In the interim period, the school has been advised to extend the current lease on its temporary premises until June 2018.
202. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding the proposed Malahide and Portmarnock Educate Together secondary school; if a suitable location has been identified and planning permission has been applied for; when the works are due to commence on this building; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24030/17]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware the building project for Malahide Portmarnock Educate Together Secondary School is included in my Department’s six year construction programme.
Officials in my Department are liaising with officials in Fingal County Council in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding in relation to the identification and acquisition of a suitable site for the school.
Due to commercial sensitivities relating to site acquisitions generally I am not in a position to provide further details at this time but I can assure the Deputy that the school patron will be informed of the proposed location for the school as soon as it is possible to do so. Once a suitable site has been secured my Department will be in a position to progress the project concerned into the architectural planning process.
203. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Education and Skills the expected timeframe for a permanent school building for a school (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24040/17]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that a permanent accommodation solution for the school to which he refers, has been identified. My Department will be in contact with the school authority in this regard in due course. Due to the sensitivity of the position, my Department is unable to comment further at this time. It is my Department's intention to progress a building project for the school in the context of my Department's 6 Year Construction Programme (2019-21).
204. Deputy Seán Haughey asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide extra temporary accommodation to a school (details supplied) for the academic year 2017-2018; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24056/17]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has no record of receiving an application for additional temporary accommodation from the schools in question.
It is open to the schools to submit an application to my Department and an application form may be accessed on my Department's website www.education.gov.ie . Any application received will be considered in the context of the competing demands on my Department's capital budget imposed by the need to prioritise available funding for the provision of essential classroom accommodation to meet demographic need and to accommodate additional teacher appointments.
205. Deputy Kathleen Funchion asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason a school (details supplied) was not allocated with an EAL teacher in 2017 in view of the fact that the school requested and was previously allocated one EAL teacher for the previous three consecutive school years; and the reason this decision changed in 2017 in view of the fact that there has been no change to the school's percentages. [24119/17]
View answerThe criteria used for the allocation of teachers to schools is published annually on the Department's website. The key factor for determining the level of staffing resources provided at individual school level is the staffing schedule for the relevant school year and pupil enrolments on the previous 30 September.
The staffing schedule operates in a clear and transparent manner and treats all similar types of schools equally irrespective of location.
The staffing process includes an appeals mechanism for schools to submit an appeal under certain criteria to an independent Primary Staffing Appeals Board. Circular 0017/2017 provides details for schools wishing to make an appeal.
The school referred to by the Deputy submitted an appeal under the EAL criterion
to the Primary Staffing Appeals Board. The Board upheld the appeal subject to the school achieving its projected enrolments on 30 September 2017.
The Appeal Board operates independently of the Minister and the Department and its decision is final.
206. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Education and Skills the amount of surplus or deficit recorded by Waterford Institute of Technology, WIT, in each of the years 2007 to 2016 and to date in 2017, broken down by year and by yearly amount, in tabular form; the cumulative surplus or deficit currently being run by the institute; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24125/17]
View answer208. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Education and Skills the income earned or received by WIT, including for current and capital purposes, by the State or by way of private companies by income stream in each of the years 2007 to 2016 and to date in 2017, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24250/17]
View answer209. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Education and Skills the amounts allocated to WIT in terms of core grant, fees and student contribution by income stream in each of the years 2007 to 2016 and to date 2017; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24251/17]
View answer213. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Education and Skills the amounts allocated to each higher education institute in terms of core grant, fees and student contribution in each of the years 2007 to 2016 and to date in 2017, by institute and income category in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24255/17]

207. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will address a matter raised in correspondence (details supplied). [24239/17]
View answerAs a consequence of the financial crisis, there was a need to enact a number of measures to reduce public expenditure so as to stabilise the country's public finances. A previous Government reduced the salaries and allowances payable to all new entrants to public service recruitment grades by 10% with effect from 1 January 2011. This decision also required that such new entrants would start on the first point of the applicable salary scale, which in the case of teachers had the effect of reducing their starting pay by a further 4-5%. Later in 2011, the Government placed a cap on the overall level of qualification allowances that could be earned by teachers.
Subsequently in 2012, following the public service-wide review of allowances, the Government withdrew qualification allowances for new teachers altogether. However, the Government partially compensated for this by deciding that new entrant teachers would henceforth commence on a new salary scale which had a starting point higher than the starting point of the old scale.
The public service agreements have allowed a programme of pay restoration to start. I have used this to negotiate substantial improvements in pay for new teachers. The agreement reached with TUI and INTO in September 2016 will see pay rises of between 15-22% (between €4,600 and €6,700) for new entrant teachers. The agreements also provide for earlier permanency for younger teachers, new promotion opportunities and new flexibilities in working hours. The pay increases for new teachers were also available to ASTI members under the proposals which members recently balloted on.
The agreements have restored an estimated 75% of the difference in pay for more recently recruited teachers and deliver full equality at later points in the scale. This is substantial progress and strikes an equitable balance with other claims for funding on my Department, particularly needs such as enhanced service for children with special educational needs, for disadvantaged schools, for growing schools, for Higher Education and for apprenticeships.
It must be borne in mind that the pay reduction for post-2011 entrants to the public service applied to all public servants and not just teachers, and that any restoration of these measures in respect of teachers would be expected to be applied elsewhere across the public service. While I am not in a position to provide an estimate of the total cost of restoring all post-1 January 2011 entrants in all areas of the public service to the pre-2011 pay scale arrangements, I can say that in the case of education and training sector employees, including teachers, the estimated current full year cost would be in the order of €85 million. Clearly, the cost across the entire public service would be substantially higher.
Further negotiation on new entrant pay cannot focus on just one sector. A broader assessment of pay and new entrant pay across the public service will be informed by the recently published analysis of the Public Service Pay Commission.
The Government established the Commission to examine pay levels across the public service, including entry levels of pay. The Government also supports the gradual, negotiated repeal of the FEMPI legislation, having due regard to the priority to improve public services and in recognition of the essential role played by public servants.
I accept that the teacher unions have outstanding pay demands and that the new entrant deal does not travel the full distance that they set out to achieve. However, it does represent significant progress, and the door is not closed to the trade union movement seeking to advance the issue further in the context of public service pay talks. My colleague, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, invited the Public Services Committee of ICTU to discussions on public service pay and a continued approach to the unwinding of the FEMPI legislation and these discussions are now underway.
210. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Education and Skills the income received and expenditure incurred by WIT, Waterford Institute of Technology, and TSSG Telecommunications Software and Systems Group in respect of a company (details supplied) from the year it first entered into a relationship with the institute to its sale; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

[24256/17]
View answer215. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Education and Skills the overall non-progression rates at each higher education institute for each of the years 2007 to 2016 and to date in 2017 by institute, in both student numbers and percentage terms, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24257/17]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 214 and 215 together.
The following table details of the non-progression rates for the academic years 2007/08 to 2008/08; 2012/13 to 2013/14 and 2013/14 to 2014/15. Data is not available for all of the years requested.
The Higher Education Authority (HEA) has recently published (April 2017) it's latest Study of Progression in Irish Higher Education, which provides an analysis of data relating to non-progression of 2013/14 full-time undergraduate new entrants to HEA funded institutions. The study shows that the proportion of new entrants in 2013/14 who did not progress is 15% across all sectors and NFQ levels. This compares to 16% in 2012/13. The rates of non-progression vary within and between sectors.
Below average progression rates continue in the fields of Construction and Related Services, Computer Science and Engineering, with again variation between sectors and institutions. However, there is some improvement reported in progression rates for Computer Science with rates increasing from 80% to 84%. Institutes of Technology rates have increased from 74% to 80% compared to universities from 85% to 88%. This would indicate that the funding made available for retention measures is having a positive impact.
One of the key objectives which my Department has set for Higher Education is to improve equity of access and student pathways. The HEA works with the institutions to improve recruitment and to tackle early drop out. There are a wide range of initiatives which can contribute to better recruitment and retention. These include:
- Access Programmes
- Surveys of Student Experiences
- Extra tuition in areas of known difficulty
- Improvement in first year experience
The HEA is working to ensure that good practice in this area is disseminated and implemented across all institutions and disciplines.
The HEA have produced a discussion paper on the factors that contribute to ‘student success’. A Working Group has also been established, chaired by the HEA, and which comprises representatives from across the higher education sector. The intention is to identify the type of strategies and measures that have been shown to be successful in different institutional contexts. The National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education is currently facilitating a focused scoping exercise to inform the activities of the Working Group. The scoping exercise is being chaired by the Union of Students of Ireland. This will ensure that the student voice is central to this process. It is expected that the Working Group will produce its report by the end of 2017.
The research shows that there are certain factors consistently associated with non progression in courses. These include prior educational attainment and parental occupation. Colleges are encouraged to develop access and progress in their strategies. A role can also be played by broadening the choice of education and training paths available to students and my ambition is that 20% of pupils would have the option of apprenticeships or traineeships in the coming years.

217. Deputy Jack Chambers asked the Minister for Education and Skills the eligibility criteria for children to qualify for the July provision; the reason those children with a particular diagnosis (details supplied) do not qualify; his plans to introduce changes to extend the scheme to allow more children to qualify; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24275/17]
View answerThe eligibility criteria for the July Provision Grant Scheme 2017 is set out in the Department's Information Note on the scheme which was published with the application forms and is available on the Department's website at www.education.ie.
The Deputy will be aware that the Programme for a Partnership Government includes a commitment to examine the adequacy of current special education access and funding provision.
In addition the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) Policy Advice on Educational Provision for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders was published in July 2016.
In developing this policy advice, the NCSE reviewed the Department's July Provision scheme. The NCSE consulted widely with parents, professionals and other stakeholders and interested parties while also conducting research. The Policy advice is available on the NCSEs website www.ncse.ie.
The policy advice recommends that relevant stakeholders should discuss the development of an national, day activity scheme that provides a structured, safe, social environment for all students with complex special educational needs for one month of the summer holidays.
My officials will engage with officials in the Department of Social Protection, the Department of Health and other relevant stakeholders in regard to implementing this recommendation. There are no immediate plans to extend the existing July Provision Scheme while this process is ongoing.
218. Deputy Brendan Ryan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if works on a new ASD unit in a school (details supplied) will be completed before September 2017 in time for the new term; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24286/17]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that my Department is currently liaising with the school authority in question relating to the matter to which he refers and this contact is ongoing.
219. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Education and Skills his views on capitation fees paid to schools in circumstances in which the school requires uniforms to be of a certain style and these are manufactured here to a higher standard than imported uniforms that are on sale in various locations; his further views on whether schools should be financially penalised for using Irish produced goods; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24303/17]
View answerMy ambition is to make the Irish education and training service the best in Europe within a decade.
To deliver on my ambition to be the best we have to improve information and complaint procedures for parents and students, particularly in relation to costs.
I want to give parents a strong voice in ensuring costs are always kept to a minimum.
I believe that we have to put a greater emphasis on reducing the cost of school uniforms and other costs.
Schools have to do everything possible to keep costs down for parents, including the use of generic items, sew on or iron on crests, and making sure that various elements of the uniform can be purchased in multiple stores.
In the Action Plan for Education I have committed to the restoration of capitation payments. In restoring capitation payments, where schools have introduced these cost effective principles, they will receive a premium capitation payment.
I believe that full transparency in relation to the use of any voluntary contributions is important information for parents to have. The Parent and Student Charter will require every school to set out a financial statement, which will include information on how any voluntary contributions are used.
This is part of a suite of measures I am introducing, including the School Admissions Bill which will reform information and procedures around the process of school enrolment, and the commencement of Fitness to Teach, which allow a complaint to be made about a registered teacher to the Teaching to Council for the first time.
Circular letter 32/2017 ‘Measures to be adopted by schools to reduce the cost of school uniforms and other costs’ was published at the end of April and is available on my Departments website.
Following the implementation of the circular, school authorities will be required to adopt the following principles of cost-effective practice which will put a greater emphasis on reducing the cost of school uniforms and other costs:
- All elements of a school uniform should be purchasable from various stores;
- Only iron on or sew on crests should be used;
- Wherever possible, generic rather than branded items should be specified (e.g. uniform, clothing, IT tablets, sports equipment etc.);
- Provide parents with a list of all required items and indicate the likely costs of these required items at best value stores;
- Provide a book rental scheme;
- Phase out, between now and September 2018, the use of workbooks which cannot be reused;
- Where an exclusive supply arrangement applies, it should be tendered for regularly and
- The Board of Management in each school will have to review the cost of items which they require parents to purchase and to make this information available to the school community.
Schools will consult with parents on their views and ask for suggestions on cost reduction initiatives. Parents will be asked for their views about school uniform costs, and other costs, through a questionnaire.
The Circular advises that all elements of a school uniform should be purchasable from various stores. The Circular also advises that schools should consult with parents on their views and suggestions on cost reduction initiatives. It is to be expected that in some schools there will be a divergence of opinions on what type of school uniform students should wear. To ensure that the views of all parents are catered for, the Circular is requesting that schools provide parents with the option to purchase all elements of a school uniform from various stores.
Each of the main education partners where consulted during the preparation of this Circular. As part of their submission, the National Parents Council – Primary included the findings of a survey they had conducted in 2016 with almost 5,000 parents. The survey found that 81% of parents at primary level preferred a uniform that could be purchased in many shops rather than a uniform that is only available from a limited number of shops.
In relation to capitation, the Action Plan for Education 2016-2019 outlines hundreds of actions to be implemented over the 3 year period 2016 to 2019 which include restoring capitation as resources permit.
Budget 2017 represents the start of a major programme of reinvestment in education, and the first phase of implementation of the Action Plan for Education, aimed at becoming the best education system in Europe within a decade.
In relation to capitation funding this commitment remains a priority for me to address during the lifetime of the Action Plan.
When budgetary resources are available to provide an increase in capitation for schools, my Department will then consider the most appropriate mechanism to gather evidence on whether or not schools have adopted the principles of cost-effective practice.
220. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of a grant allocation for a school (details supplied) under the summer works scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24307/17]
View answerI wish to confirm to the Deputy that my Department is in receipt of a Category 3 application, mechanical works, under the Summer Works Scheme (SWS)(2016-2017) from the school to which he refers.
As the Deputy will be aware funding was recently approved in respect of this application and the school has been advised of this decision through my Department’s on-line Esinet portal.
I wish to advise the Deputy that under the SWS it is a matter for the individual school to prioritise the project for which funding is being sought. The roof works referred to by the Deputy may qualify to be considered for funding under this scheme, however the school did not prioritise these works when submitting their application. I also wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has not received a request from the school concerned in relation to the roof works. However, in this regard my Department will consider a written request from the school to substitute an alternative priority project for the project already approved.
Alternatively, it is open to the school to utilise their Minor Works Grant, i.e. €5,500 for each primary school plus €18.50 per mainstream pupil or €74 per special needs pupil, which all schools received last November, to address improvement works to their buildings and site areas, in full or on a phased basis as the grant permits.
