Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 February 2018
176. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Education and Skills the extent to which he is examining the issue of mobility for experienced teachers and new entrants in the teaching profession; the way in which he plans to improve career mobility for new and existing teachers; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6762/18]
View answerThe teacher Unions have recently raised the issue of further mobility of both Primary and Post Primary teachers at the Teacher Conciliation Council (TCC).
The TCC is part of the scheme of Conciliation and Arbitration for Teachers and was set up to deal with claims and proposals relating to the Terms and Conditions of employment of teachers. The Council is composed of representatives of teachers, school management, the Department of Education and Skills, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and is chaired by an official of the Workplace Relations Commission.
As the proceedings of the TCC are confidential, it would not be appropriate for me to make any further comment.
