447. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if she will intervene to address the anomaly in the case of a secondary school teacher (details supplied) in Dublin 15 who attained a postgraduate diploma in education, qualified as a teacher and registered with the Teaching Council in 2011 but was placed on post-2012 pay scales as they had to complete some extra modules relating to their original bachelor degree.

The Teaching Council, the professional regulatory body for teachers, is the body with statutory responsibility since 2006 for the registration of teachers. I as Minister for Education and Skills have no direct function in relation to the registration of individual teachers.
I understand the person referred to by the Deputy was conditionally registered by the Teaching Council as a Post Primary teacher on 15th August, 2013 and became eligable for the qualified rate of pay from that date. Thus the person was placed on the February 2012 incremental salary scale.
