View answerMy Department provides each of the sixteen Education and Training Board (ETB) with a staffing allocation to support its schools, colleges, head office and other centres of education. In providing these supports, it is the responsibility of each ETB to recruit and manage staffing levels within this allocation and to deploy staff in roles in accordance with the priorities and needs as identified by the ETB concerned.
The cost of an additional staff member for each ETB will depend on the grade of the staff member concerned. The most up to date salary scales for the various administrative grades in ETBs are set out in Circular 0005/2022 which is available on my Department's website.
