The information sought by the Deputy is not available in the format required. There are a total of 3,306 newly appointed primary teachers since 1 January 2011. This number includes qualified and unqualified appointees who were employed on permanent, fixed term and casual substitute contracts. The corresponding post-primary figures are being obtained and will be forwarded to the Deputy.
All teachers who are appointed to a teaching post for the first time after 1 January 2011 are paid on the new lower rates of pay.
