Question:230 Mr. Ryan asked the Minister for Education if she has any plans to reduce the length of incremental scales for teachers; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers. - Teachers Incremental Scales.
A claim for an increase in the salaries of teachers in national, secondary, vocational, community and comprehensive schools is at present under discussion at the Conciliation Council for Teachers. One of the elements in that claim is a reduction in the number of years required to reach the maximum of the scale.
Accordingly, it would not be appropriate for me to make any comment on the matter.
