The Teaching Council is the statutory body in this country for the recognition of teaching qualifications. If the Teaching Council decides that the qualifications held by an applicant for recognition satisfy the requirements for the granting of provisional recognition, the person concerned, on being appointed to an approved post in a recognised primary school, would be eligible for the payment of incremental salary by my Department while the provisional recognition continued to apply.
