Question:

129. Deputy Kathleen Funchion asked the Minister for Education and Skills the arrangements in place for students that are in the final year of their masters for secondary school teaching in circumstances in which Irish is one of their subjects and they have not had the opportunity to complete their Gaeltacht placement due to the Covid-19 pandemic; and if they will still be awarded the relevant qualification from the National Teaching Council.

Written answers

Both my Department and I are aware of the matter referred to by the Deputy.

I wish to advise that this matter is under active consideration by the Teaching Council at present and the Council have advised my Department that a statement will issue shortly on this matter.

The Teaching Council is the statutory body charged with determining standards for the teaching profession and for accrediting programmes of initial teacher education.
