379. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Education the number and value of granted and declined applications approved for incremental credit for primary and secondary teachers by county in each of the years 2007 to 2021 and to date in 2022. [62264/22]
View answerThe information requested by the Deputy in relation to the number of granted and declined incremental credit applications for teachers is not readily available in my Department but this information will be collated for the years 2014 to 2021 and will issue directly to the Deputy. The information requested in relation to the value of incremental applications approved and the geographical breakdown by county is not available.
The criteria for the award of incremental credit to recognised teachers was agreed under the auspices of the Teachers Conciliation Council (TCC). This Council is comprised of representatives of teachers, school management, the Department Public Expenditure and Reform, the Department of Education and is chaired by an official of the Workplace Relations Commission.
The criteria for the award of incremental credit is laid out in my Department's Circulars 10/2001 for Primary teachers, 29/2007 and 29/2010 for Post Primary teachers.
