301. Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she has completed his consideration of correspondence from a person (details supplied) in County Cork regarding recognition of home tutor qualifications and registration with the Teaching Council; her views on same; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe Teaching Council, the professional regulatory body for teachers, is the body with statutory responsibility since 2006 for the registration of teachers. Applicants for registration should pursue their application with the Teaching Council in the first instance. The Minister for Education and Skills has no direct function in relation to the registration of individual teachers. If an applicant for registration is dissatisfied with the Council's decision(s), he or she may appeal the decision(s) to the High Court in accordance with the provisions of the Teaching Council Act.
