asked the Minister for Education the number of incremental teaching positions she has approved for secondary schools, community-comprehensive schools, vocational schools and community colleges for the 1987-88 school year; and the number of these positions which are permanent.
Written Answers. - Incremental Teaching Posts.
268.
The number of incremental teaching positions authorised for the 1987-88 school year is 11,931 for secondary schools, 2,352.63 for community and comprehensive schools and 5,391.5 for vocational schools, including community colleges.
While the number of secondary schools represent whole time positions the allocations for the other categories of schools are given in terms of whole time equivalents. The utilisation of these allocations in a whole time, temporary whole time or part time capacity is a matter for the boards of management of the individual schools in the case of community and comprehensive schools, and for the individual vocational education committees in the case of vocational schools and community colleges.
