Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 April 2018
91. D'fhiafraigh Deputy Aindrias Moynihan den Aire Oideachais agus Scileanna an gcuirfidh sé múinteoirí breise ar fáil do scoil (sonraí tugtha) an bhliain seo chugainn toisc go raibh go leor leanaí ar an rolla mí Mheán Fómhair seo caite. [16916/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraIs í an phríomh-shlat tomhais lena gcinntear leibhéal na n-acmhainní foirne a chuirtear ar fáil ag leibhéal scoile aonair ná an sceideal foirne don scoilbhliain ábhartha agus rollú na ndaltaí ar an 30 Meán Fómhair roimhe sin. Le buiséad 2018 fógraíodh go ndéanfaí feabhas pointe amháin ar an sceideal foirne bunscoile, rud a laghdaigh an meánchóimheas múinteoir dalta go 26:1. Cuireadh an sceideal foirne feabhsaithe i bhfeidhm don scoilbhliain 2018/19 agus tá sé leagtha amach i gCiorclán 0010/2018, atá ar fáil ar láithreán gréasáin na Roinne Oideachais.
Féadfaidh scoileanna líon na múinteoirí a cheadaítear a cheapadh ar an sceideal foirne ag baint úsáide as rollú na scoile ar an 30 Meán Fómhair 2017 d’fhonn a gcuid foirne don scoilbhliain 2018/19 a dhéanamh amach. Ní mór do mhúinteoirí a cheapfar ón sceideal foirne a bheith ag gabháil do dhualgais teagaisc laistigh den scoil. Tá scoileanna faoi réir na socruithe ath-imlonnaithe foilsithe chun folúntais mhúinteoireachta a líonadh.
English translation:
To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide additional teachers to this school (details supplied) next year as there was a sufficient number of children on the roll last September.
Answer:
The key factor for determining the level of staffing resources provided at individual school level is the staffing schedule for the relevant school year and pupil enrolments on the previous 30 September. Budget 2018 announced a one point improvement to the primary staffing schedule, which reduced the average pupil teacher ratio to 26:1. The improved staffing schedule has been implemented for the 2018/19 school year and is set out in Circular 0010/2018, available on the Department of Education website.
In establishing their staffing for the 2018/19 school year, schools may appoint the number of teachers allowed for on the staffing schedule using the school enrolment of 30th September 2017. Any teachers appointed from the staffing schedule must be engaged in teaching duties within the school. Schools are subject to the published redeployment arrangements in filling teaching vacancies.
