174. Deputy Danny Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason Montessori teachers do not receive any pension; and the reason they do not get paid during their holidays. [36907/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that Montessori schools are private educational entities and not recognised schools under the Education Act 1998. Therefore the employment terms and conditions of their workers, including access to paid holidays and pension entitlements are matters for the owners/managers of those facilities.
