My Department allocates teaching posts to individual VEC schemes in accordance with published criteria. It is a matter for the individual VEC scheme, as employer, to determine whether a teacher is entitled to hold a contract of indefinite duration. The information requested by the Deputy would therefore be held at individual VEC level.

The information requested by the Deputy is not available as the managerial authorities of schools will not have appointments for the 2011-12 school year finalised until September 2011.
