Approximately 88% of Primary teachers, excluding Principals, are female. In the case of Voluntary Secondary, Community and Comprehensive Schools approximately 69% of teachers, excluding Principals are female.

VEC teachers are employees of VECs and are paid on 33 separate VEC payrolls. Accordingly, the Department does not have the information which the Deputy is seeking for teachers in VECs.
