Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 7 April 2022
306. Deputy Michael Lowry asked the Minister for Education the way that a teacher (details supplied) can transfer their reckonable teaching hours worked at secondary level over to primary level; if these hours can be used to increase their current pay scale point on the primary teachers’ pay scale; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [19077/22]
View answerI can advise the Deputy that my Department operates a scheme where incremental salary scale progression attained in the post primary teaching sector can be transferred to the primary teaching sector.
Once the reckonable service thresholds are met by a teacher in the sector they are working in they will receive incremental salary progression to the next point on the scale.
An official from my Department has been in direct contact with the individual teacher concerned and outlined the requirements for incremental progression in the post primary sector and the requirements for recognition of this service for increment purposes in the primary sector.
