Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 4 May 2005
481 Mr. Kehoe asked the Minister for Education and Science the process by which a person appeals a decision made by the Registration Council for recognition of their qualifications for the purpose of admission to the Register of Intermediate Secondary School Teachers; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [14569/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Registration Council is the statutory body responsible for the recognition of qualifications for the purpose of teaching in secondary schools.
Decisions of the council are based on established assessment criteria and on a detailed examination of all documentation submitted in support of each application.
The council will advise disappointed applicants of the reasons their individual qualifications were not considered suitable for teaching purposes. Where a shortfall in qualifications is identified and additional information in respect of that shortfall is supplied, the council will re-examine the application.
If the Deputy has a particular case in mind and supplies me with details, I can arrange for a more detailed response which will issue directly to him.
