The information in relation to the numbers of each category or types of teachers is not readily available. The details regarding common basic salary scales, qualification allowances, post of responsibility and other allowances payable to teachers are outlined on my Department's website. The salary scale for special needs assistants is also outlined on the website. I will arrange for the details regarding the location of the information on the website to be forwarded direct to the Deputy.
