As part of the Higher Diploma in Education course, a student must undertake a certain number of hours teaching practice under supervision in a recognised second level school and this teaching practice is supervised directly by the relevant University.

Arrangements in this regard are therefore a matter between the individual student, the university and the school and does not involve my Department.
