Information regarding the numbers of primary and post primary retired teachers who returned to teaching from September 2007 to March 2011 by school year is outlined in the table below. I will arrange for the data in relation to the full 2010/2011 school year to be forwarded to the Deputy. The data for the 2011 / 12 school year is not available at this stage as teacher appointments to schools are not finalised.

The State Examinations Commission has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the certificate examinations including organising the holding of examinations, determining procedures in places where examinations are conducted including the supervision of examinations and making arrangements for the marking of work presented for examination.

In view of this I have forwarded your query to the State Examinations Commission for direct reply to you.
