The Teaching Council is the regulator and standards body for the teaching profession. One of the primary functions of the Council is to maintain the register of teachers for the State. The number of teachers of English registered under Regulation 4 (Post primary) of the Teaching Council Registration Regulations is 10,042. The Deputy should note that these teachers may be employed as teachers of subjects other than English or may indeed not be employed as teachers at the current time.
