My Department provides funding towards the cost of secretarial services in primary and secondary schools under two separate schemes. One is the 1978/79 scheme under which my Department meets the full cost of salary. These staff members are paid directly through my Department's payroll. Tables outlining the salary scale applicable to Clerical Officers in both primary and post-primary schools from 1 June, 2006 are as follows and are also available on my Department's website at www.education.ie. under "Education Personnel" and "Payroll". The 1978/79 scheme is being phased out as posts become vacant and no new posts are being created.
The 1978/79 scheme has been superseded by a more extensive school support grant scheme towards the funding of ancillary services in schools including secretarial services. The grants provided are not directly linked to any particular pay scales. The scheme is flexible in nature giving Boards of Management and schools discretion as to the manner in which these services are provided.
