Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 23 May 2018
95. Deputy Catherine Martin asked the Minister for Education and Skills the arrangements for the provision of extra hours allocated to schools for junior cycle implementation for the school year 2018-19, in view of the fact that not all schools had permanent leadership posts restored; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22839/18]
View answerIn recognition of the fact that the introduction of the Framework for Junior Cycle 2015 has implications for school leaders, extra hours were allocated to schools with effect from 2016 on an interim basis pending the restoration of leadership posts in schools to help with the facilitation of this additional work.
The position in relation to the school year 2018/19 will be considered in the context of Circular 3/2018.
