The Government approved a number of measures relating to public service allowances following a public service-wide review of allowances and premium payments conducted by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform in 2012. As a result, a number of allowances were withdrawn from new beneficiary public servants, including teachers.
A rent allowance was not payable to teachers previously and there is no plan to introduce a rent allowance scheme for teachers.
