Ceist:

421. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Education and Skills why a teacher who qualified in May 2015 would be denied the pay conditions laid out in her Department's Circular 0040/2011 (details supplied) given that the teacher illustrated to her Department that the criteria have been fulfilled; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education and Skills

The position is outlined in my Department's Circular 0008/2013 in that persons who are employed in a teaching position in an unqualified capacity and who become eligible for the qualified rate of pay on or after 1st February 2012 will be placed on the relevant pay scale from the date on which they become appropriately qualified and registered.
