The criteria used for the allocation of teaching posts for the 2013-2014 school year is set out in the Staffing Schedule (Circular 0013/2013) which is available on the Department website. The key factor for determining the level of staffing resources provided at individual school level is the staffing schedule for the relevant school year and pupil enrolments on the 30 September 2012. The enrolment tables for the operation of the staffing schedule for the 2013-2014 school year are listed at Appendix A of the Staffing Schedule. This enables schools to check their mainstream staffing levels for the 2013/2014 school year. The Staffing Schedule also provides information on Resource base posts, EAL posts and GAM/EAL (General Allocation Model and Language Support) for the 2013/2014 school year. The allocation for all schools is listed in Appendix C of the Staffing Schedule. The staffing process for the 2014/15 school year will be initiated early in 2014 and all schools will be notified when the Staffing Schedule for the 2014-15 school year is published.
