Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 June 2023
505. Deputy Francis Noel Duffy asked the Minister for Education if she will provide an update on the decisions being considered by the Teachers' Conciliation Council to award incremental credit to teachers who have carried out service in post-primary private schools outside of the EU. [27420/23]
View answerThe criteria for the award of incremental credit are set out in my Department’s Circulars 10/2001 for Primary teachers, 29/2007 and 29/2010 for Post-Primary teachers. The criteria for the award of incremental credit to recognised teachers was agreed under the auspices of the Teachers Conciliation Council (TCC).
The teachers unions have lodged a number of claims at the TCC in relation to incremental credit, and specifically a claim about private post primary teaching service outside the EU. These claims are still under consideration. The Department will advise the TCC of the outcome on completion of this process.
