The scheme of incremental credit for primary teachers is the subject of a collective agreement reached at Teachers' Conciliation Council and the terms are set out in Circular letter 10/2001. The application for incremental credit submitted by the person referred to by the Deputy was for service given in a private institution outside the European Union. The school in which the service was given did not offer a range of studies incorporating all of the courses prescribed on the national curriculum of the country in which it was located. The service given did not, therefore, meet the criteria of the scheme. The person concerned was notified in writing of my Department's decision on the 13 December 2010.
