Under the Teaching Council Acts 2001-2015 the Teaching Council is the body with statutory authority and responsibility for the regulation of the teaching profession in Ireland including the registration of teachers in the State.
The Council has provided the information requested in the table below, the number of newly qualified primary teachers primary across all providers since 2014 broken into Consecutive and Concurrent qualifications.
Table
The Teaching Council inform me there are a number of caveats to this data, namely:
- These numbers relate to the qualifications of newly qualified teachers (NQTs) transferred to the Council from HEIs.
- A small number of NQTs may not have completed the registration process.
- Primary Teachers who registered outside the NQT summer fast track process are not counted.
- The number for 2014 is an approximate.
