I propose to take Questions Nos. 136 and 138 together.

The number of retired teachers in receipt of pension benefit under the Primary School Teachers Pension Scheme is in excess of 13,000. The number of retired teachers in receipt of pension benefit under the Secondary, Community and Comprehensive School Teachers Pension Scheme is in excess of 9,500.

The Pension Unit of my Department is currently compiling detailed statistical data on the number of teachers who retired in the period up to February 2012. When compiled, this data will be published on my Department's website.
