Vol. 398 No. 1

Written Answers. - Establishment of Teachers' Council.

John Bruton

Ceist:

205 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Education if she favours the introduction of a self-regulating college of teachers, representative of teachers, similar to those operating in Scotland and British Columbia to define academic and professional competence in service requirements, professional behaviour and other relevant standards for the teaching profession.

I have set up a working party, representative of all the interested parties, to make recommendations on the establishment of a teachers' council including matters such as the composition, structure, functions and financing of such a body.

The first meeting of the working party takes place on Tuesday, 1 May 1990.
