asked the Minister for Education if he is aware that secondary and vocational married men teachers are remunerated to the extent of £120 more per annum at the highest point in the normal scale than national teachers; and, if so, if he will state if it is his intention to award the same basic scale to all teachers—national, vocational and secondary.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Teachers' Remuneration.
The highest point on the salary scale for married men secondary teachers, including the minimum basic salary payable by the school is £770. This is also the highest point on the scale for married men vocational teachers. The highest point on the scale for married men national teachers is £650. It is not my intention to award the same scale to all teachers, national, vocational and secondary.
