Question 42: To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he has any plans to introduce a centralised system for the advertising of teaching posts including principal and vice-principal posts. [19185/11]

The advertisement of teaching and other posts is the responsibility of boards of management of schools and are managed by the relevant management body in accordance with guidelines agreed by the education partners.

Primary school posts are advertised on a number of websites approved by the management bodies. These include www.educationposts.ie, www.eteach.ie, www.staffroom.ie and www.educatetogether.ie. Employers may also advertise Principal and Deputy Principal posts either in a national newspaper or online on www.publicjobs.ie.

At post-primary level all schools are obliged to advertise teaching posts in the national press. In addition, management bodies at this level may specify appropriate websites such as www.educationposts.ie.

I have no plans to centralise the advertising of teacher posts at the current time.
