Charlie McConalogue

Ceist:

103. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will set out in tabular form the starting salary grade for a newly employed teacher at both primary and post primary level for each year from 2005 to 2012; the available allowances to a newly employed teacher; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The starting points on the Common Basic Scale and the allowances available to newly employed teachers prior to the recent Government decision on allowances are set out in the following table. Not all of the allowances listed were available to every teacher as entitlement was based on the qualifications held by the individual and/or the nature of the post for which they were employed. Prior to 1 January 2011, teachers who completed a three year teacher-training course commenced on the second point of the salary scale. Teachers who completed a four year training course commenced on the third point, as did post primary teachers with a Higher Diploma in Education (or equivalent). New entrant teachers with effect from 1 January 2011 started on the first point of the scale.

Following the recent Government decision, certain allowances are no longer payable to new beneficiaries. New entrant teachers with effect from 1 February 2012 will not receive qualification allowances, but will start on a salary which is equivalent to the fourth point of the existing scale.
