Amharc ar fhreagraThe staffing arrangements for the current school year are set out in Circular 0007/2014 which is available on the Department website. The redeployment arrangements are set out in a detailed FAQ document that is published on my Department's website.The core function of the redeployment arrangements is to facilitate the redeployment of all surplus permanent teachers to other schools that have vacancies. Thereafter, schools are required under the panel arrangements to fill permanent vacancies from supplementary panels comprised of eligible fixed-term (temporary/substitute) and part-time teachers.
The redeployment arrangements for surplus permanent teachers for the 2015/16 school year will be published on the Department website early in 2015.
The arrangements for panel access for fixed term (temporary/substitute) and part-time teachers for the 2015/16 school year will be published on the Department website shortly.
