Education Funding: Motion
Teachers in Gaelscoileanna are paid more than teachers in non-Gaelscoileanna. Gaelscoileanna also receive increased capitation grants. I do not accept that position is fair. I taught in a primary school and believed that I did as good as job as a teacher in a Gaelscoil. I ask the Minister to increase teachers' salaries and capitation grants to ensure they are equal across the board. It is insulting to teachers in non-Gaelscoileanna to pay them a lower salary.
